Meet Our Staff:

Mike's first camp experiences came from attending retreats and summer camp at Pyoca with Orchard Park Presbyterian Church's youth programming. In high school Mike served as a volunteer counselor with Orchard Park's camping ministry, Camp Friendly, and then transitioned onto Pyoca's summer staff while in college, serving on staff for four summers. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Outdoor Recreation and Resource Management from Indiana University ('14) and joined Pyoca's staff full time in 2014 while finishing his degree.

Mike brings a breadth of experience in Challenge Course Management and upkeep and is a certified Lifeguard Instructor through the American Red Cross. He loves outdoor adventure and sharing his passion for climbing and aquatics with staff and campers. He also happens to be an excellent cook.
