Michael Torchia
Professionally, I have about 20 years experience in the medical field, starting at age 18 as a firefighter/EMT. After a few years I became a paramedic, tissue recovery specialist (human tissue donation) and registered nurse. I graduated Magna Cum Laude with my BSN in May 2016. I currently work as an RN on a neuro step down floor with a focus on ischemic stroke. I also work part time as a firefighter/paramedic. I am currently pursuing my Ohio paramedic instructor certification and I plan to work part time teaching paramedic school at a local community college. I am also finishing my degree in fire science.
In my spare time I enjoy restoring and building vintage motorcycles, which has been a hobby of mine since age 16. I take motorcycle trips both on and off road exploring small town America. I am also a musician, having played bass guitar for 25 years and in the past also played piano, cello and saxophone. I enjoy studying local history and exploring historical sites.
