After high school, he enlisted in the United States Air Force and served two years. Upon returning to D’Iberville, Mississippi, Micheal was employed in grocery retail with Kroger, Delchamps, Jitney Jungle, and Winn Dixie. During his employment he met his wife. Micheal and Alicia were later blessed with their four children, Micheala, Mikey, Mason, and Miyah Peterson. He loved to coach, support, and cheer on their sports and activities.
