Mike Davis did his undergraduate work in philosophy at the University of Maryland at College Park in the late 1960s. He went to graduate school in philosophy at the University of Nebraska. While there, he co-authored a two semester correspondence course in philosophy. The Extension Division of the University of Nebraska published and used this class. He also taught classes holding the position of instructor of philosophy. For a short time in the mid-1970s, he was an assistant professor of philosophy at Washington College in Chestertown. Mike worked for the navy for 40 years in submarine acquisition and facilities management. He wrote and gave navy classes in program management, federal budgeting, financial management and congressional relations. For five years, Mike taught Facilities Management at George Mason University. He continued reading philosophical works concerning the philosophy of science. Mike’s interest in reading and teaching philosophy was reinspired by Forest Hanson’s classes for the Chesapeake Form. They teamed up to create a new philosophy class offered this fall.
