2 The BATTLEFIELD SIG "ey were the chapter father figures if you will. ey rarely, if ever, missed a chapter meeting or chapter event," he shared. "ey were and still are dedicated to the brotherhood and eta Chapter. ey taught us what it means to be a part of this brotherhood, and they were there from day one." Aer graduating from Gettysburg, he went on to pursue his master's degree at East Stroudsburg University in clinical exercise physiology. During his time in graduate school, Mike still wasn't sure what he wanted to do professionally. Eventually, he decided to give medical school a shot. "I didn't get in on my first try. I ended up working at Gettysburg College in the Department of Public Safety for a year while I reapplied to medical school," he shared. "During that time, I also had the unique opportunity to be an interim director of Greek organizations for Gettyburg's Student Affairs Office while the main director was on paternity leave." e second time around, Mike was accepted to two osteopathic medical schools. He attended Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2012-16 and completed his residency in internal medicine at Orange Regional Medical Center in Middletown, New York. Aer that, he worked as a hospitalist for a group at the same hospital for a year before becoming a primary care physician at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pennsylvania. "I'm most proud of having survived the process of earning my title of doctor and having earned the job I have now. My career is young, so I'm sure there is more to come, but right now I'm just enjoying the fruits of that labor," he said. "I love having a relationship with my patients and that they have trust in me to help them get and stay healthy." Mike is also proud of the life he has built so far. He and his wife, Kate, have been married for eight years and have four kids: Kennedy (17, Mike's stepchild), and their three kids together, Maggie (4), Michael James III (2), and Rylan (7 months as of January 2021). He and his family live in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. Although his career path and raising a family have been his main priorities up to this point, he hopes to get more involved with eta Chapter again now that he lives closer to Gettysburg College.
