As a nurse since 1980, Michael has witnessed many changes in the practice of nursing and in nursing research. He began his career as a staff nurse in the Surgical ICU at the University of Minnesota Hospital and Clinic, and has held a variety of clinical, administrative, and industry roles in the subsequent years. Much of his focus and interest during that time has been on the care of patients with cardiovascular disorders requiring medical, surgical, and transplant interventions. At present he is the Cardiothoracic Clinical Nurse Specialist at the University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview as well as working on his PhD in nursing at the University of Minnesota.
Michael has been a member of Sigma Theta Tau, Zeta Chapter since 1993. Prior to becoming President, he served as President-Elect (2006-2008) and served on the Nominating Committee (now the Succession Committee) for our local chapter.
