Quick, think of five things others should know about you.
That’s the theme behind a series in UNMC Today called “Lookin’ at U.”
Each Thursday, we will randomly select a medical center employee to feature.
This week, we feature Mike Siref, volunteer project coordinator for MMI AmeriCorps. Here, in his own words, are some fun facts about Mike:

Mike Siref |
- I grew up around the Aksarben neighborhood and in downtown Omaha. I did a lot of growing up and a lot of goofing off in both places.
- I wear a gold, Corvette-shaped necklace with diamond headlights out of reverence for my Grandpa Calvin. How many 60-year-old men would drive a Corvette 1,100 miles to see their family in the Midwest?
- I am related to Jim Bowie, who played a prominent role in the Texas Revolution and died in the Battle of the Alamo. He also was the inventor of the Bowie Knife.
- I met Kelley Coutts, assistant director of recreational therapy at the Munroe-Meyer Institute, when she had blonde hair. If you ask her, I know she’ll have ammunition on me!
- My first concert was REO Speedwagon at Fun Plex in 1997. My next concert will be Tom Petty at the Qwest Center next month.
