Background: Mike Disario is originally from Massachusetts. He enlisted in the U.S. Air Force in 1976.

After four years of service with the Air Force, Mike returned to his native Boston and worked as a rescue/medical technician for an underground construction and tunneling company building subway tunnels.

Upon completion of the tunnel project Mike returned to the service, this time with the U.S. Army.

Due to his previous Air Force and rescue experience, Mike was assigned to a unique new helicopter rescue unit stationed in the middle of the California desert.

This ground-breaking first assignment would start the ball rolling on a career that is the heart and soul of the novel Dustoff.

Rescue assignments moved Mike from state to state, country to country, and from the cold war to post-war Kuwait.
