About this listen

A 75-year-old Army veteran and lifelong outdoorsman, Michael Sharkey spent years hiking, fishing, and skiing. More recently, he has taken up trap shooting, and he recently earned a silver medal at the Huntsman World Senior Games, hitting 80 out of 100 clay targets. Michael is also an avid gravel and road cyclist, traveling across the country and even Europe to compete. He finds cycling to be more than a sport; it is also therapeutic for his back.

Through reinvention, marriage, and curiosity, Michael has embraced a life full of adventure, from skiing three times a week to learning trap shooting from world-class instructors. Retired after years as ski patrol, a carpenter, and a watchmaker, he continues to challenge himself, stay active, and share his love of adventure with his wife.
