Michael comes from a Family of both Veterans and First Responders.  Michael himself is a 20-year retired Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer, while his brother spent 26 years In the US Army and is a retired Warrant Officer, who is still serving the community as a Federal Agent.  In addition, their father served for 8 years in the Marine Corp.  Michael, his brother and father are all Disabled Veterans.  Michael also has a son that is a Marine Corp Veteran and is currently a DOD Firefighter and a Sister that is a Nurse Practitioner. Michael is committed to giving back to his fellow brothers in arms and first responders.  Defenders’ Retreat at Silver Point in Silver Point, TN was purchased by Michael years ago and this 259 Acre parcel is now being transformed into a place where Veterans will have a place to utilize that will provide them with the help needed to get back into the civilian workforce. In addition, Defenders’ Retreat at Silver Point will also provide a place where people can come relax, enjoy family outings, camp, listen to live music, and mingle with Veterans and First Responders. A portion of the proceeds from all of the events will go to help better the lives of our Veterans and First Responders.
