- About: My name is Michael Tuffelmire. I was born and raised in downtown Grand Rapids, attending school in the Heartside neighborhood. I am 29 years old, and have a two year old son named Michael Scott. I served in the U.S. Army Infantry for six years, and was in two U.S. conflicts: Kosovo and Iraq. I have been to 27 different countries, and on nearly every continent of this planet. I am a community organizer and board member elect on the West Michigan Environmental Action Council (WMEAC) and a member of the executive board of the East Hills Council of Neighbors. I am currently a full-time Senior at Ferris State University with a minor in Accounting and major in Health Care Management. I start graduate school next summer. I have been writing for the Rapidian since its infancy in October, 2009, and recently received the 2010 Volunteer of the Year award from the Community Media Center for my writing – an honor for which I am extremely proud. My hobbies include bicycling, martial arts, boxing, reading, and enjoying the sights and sounds of the city.
