F. Michael, "Mike" Sheehan grew up in Melrose, Massachusetts, playing ice hockey on the frozen Ell Pond each winter until he left New England.

Michael moved to Eugene in 1972, where he attended the University of Oregon and played on the UO club soccer team. He spent the next decade traveling and working across North America and Europe. 

Michael worked at Sacred Heart/PeaceHealth for over 35 years and served as PeaceHealth Oregon’s Chief Information Officer.  He founded Crescent Ridge Consulting and has been a Health IT advisor for healthcare organizations across the United States over the past eight years.

“Mike” has played in the Lane County Adult Hockey League for 33 years and joined the Oregon Old Growth team for the 2023 Snoopy Senior Tournament's over-70 division.

He lives with his wife, LeeAnn, in Eugene, Oregon. They have four adult children: Emily, Nika, Connor, and Kerry.  Michael, LeeAnn, and their dog, Sierra, frequently travel in their converted campervan throughout the West.

This is his first book.
