After Teen Challenge Michael started working at Fairview Hospital in their mental health and adolescent crisis and stabilization unit. It was there that Michael was able to work one on one with teens and lead educational groups on topics such at depression, anger, and coping skills. Michael loved his time on that unit, however, feeling the need to continue to grow and expand his knowledge in other areas of his life Michael left Fairview and pursued a job at a tech company as a Quality Assurance Specialist. During this time Michael learned the value of a good team, and how important it was to not just have co-workers but to have and to build a team that you could count on, lean on, and trust. It was during this time that Kasey and Michael started Family Chatterbox. From the beginning it was decided that Michael would take care of all the business side of things so that Kasey could focus on the things that she loved and was most passionate about, providing therapy, building a team, and serving families in their home. Michael has loved his role within Family Chatterbox, he loves being able to see the entire team do what they love and provide therapy.  As Family Chatterbox has grown the business side of things has taken more and more of Michael's time and thus, he is now happily employed full time through Family Chatterbox.
