Michael Morgan was 29 years in uniform and participated in multiple combat deployments in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. The first half of Michael Morgan’s military career was spent on the conventional side. He then switched to an assignment with the Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg North Carolina. In addition to Michael’s military service, both of Michael’s adult sons are currently serving in the Army.

Michael’s current passions are directed at supporting the community that has been so good to him the last 29 years. It saddens him to see so many of his Brothers and Sisters take their lives, struggle everyday with addiction and mental health disorders then become houseless. Michael understands and knows there is more he can do to help and made the decision to join the team at Virtue at the Pointe to become more of a driving force and have that direct impact on those that need support and assistance to navigate the process.
