Mike
Lab Technician
Mike has been with our office since 2016, as a sterilization technician. It can be said he truly has an interest and curiosity for what he does!
​
Mike lives in Wadsworth, having grown up right on the lake in Bay Village. In high school he was a member of both the football and lacrosse teams. After high school, Mike pursued further education at the University of Toledo. He enjoys learning in any and all aspects of his life.
​
In his free time Mike likes to enjoy nature. He loves taking hikes around the area parks and trails. And he loves watching any type of nature documentary or playing video games. He enjoys taking his dog for walks and hikes at the park when the weather is holding up! Also, he enjoys spending time with his dad and two sisters, although if you ask him, he says he was raised by wolves.
​
Mike is responsible for infection control and also has his radiographer's license. As a newer staff member, Mike loves his job. He looks forward to continuing his knowledge of the dental field by working at this office, and thanks Dr. Messina for this wonderful opportunity to work in such a relaxed, fun office.
