During his 10-year service, Michael worked as an unmanned aircraft systems operator but had many other roles throughout his career. In 2018, while on deployment in Greece, Michael was involved in an accident on the airfield resulting in a traumatic brain injury that damaged his optic nerve. This ultimately led Michael to lose 80% of his sight at the age of 28.

 

Adaptive sports have changed Michael’s life post-injury. He currently competes in both the Warrior Games and Invictus Games and he does an array of sports from weightlifting to whitewater kayaking. During his time at ATF, Michael is looking to elevate himself in all aspects of being an athlete; physically, mentally, and emotionally so he can best prepare for upcoming competitions.
