Michael Ross is a Postal Services Representative and has been working in OAS since
2017. You will typically find Michael behind the service counter of the USF Post Office.
However, like all of the USF Post Office employees, Michael is cross-trained to perform
all of the functions necessary to keep the Post Office running, from collecting mail,
to sorting and distributing it, along with operating various types of postal equipment.
Michael鈥檚 favorite part about working in the post office is the familial environment.
He also appreciates that everyone works towards the same goals and knows when things
need to be done to accomplish those goals.
Michael moved to Tampa in 2015 from Massachusetts, where he served as a law enforcement
officer for over 20 years after serving in the air force for 8 years. As an officer,
he taught many diversity and inclusion trainings to various police departments in
West Massachusetts. The skills he developed of teaching and having a strong sense
of empathy have helped him excel in serving customers at the USF Post Office, however
there are always challenges. Michael tries to stay positive and remember that sometimes
people are having a bad day and they take it out on you but it鈥檚 not your fault.
Outside of work, Michael is an avid motorcyclist, and even started a chapter of the
Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club in Springfield, Massachusetts, where they provided
education and social welfare programs to children in the area. Michael hopes to start
something like the Buffalo Soldiers in Tampa. He also loves to travel and wants to
take a motorcycle tour through South America, as soon as he is able to.
