History
After graduating from the University of Kansas in 1978, Mike knew he was destined to own his own pharmacy. However, he first began practicing in the chain environment in order to both gain experience and to discover the manner in which chain pharmacies operate. Although he started off as a staff pharmacist, Mike ascended the ranks rapidly, first being promoted to pharmacist-in-charge and then eventually to store manager within a time period of only 2-1/2 years. By 1982, Mike was ready to purchase his own pharmacy.
