When Dr. Mike is not in the office he enjoys traveling, including to visit his son, Jason, who lives outside of Charleston, SC and his daughter, Jocelyn, who is studying to become a veterinarian and running track at Sewanee: The University of the South in TN. Dr. Mike is an avid Hot Wheels collector and can often be found hunting for the rare example to add to his collection!
