Michael Torkington
Houseparent
“I am grateful for the opportunity to be used by God to hopefully make a positive impact on all those who enter our home.”
Michael first heard about Cookson Hills while he and his wife, Brittany, were looking into becoming foster parents. They found the role of Houseparents at Cookson Hills and officially joined our team in April of 2020. That’s right, they moved in the middle of a global pandemic from Connecticut to Oklahoma to begin serving kids who are at-risk! Michael enjoys having fun with the children in his home and helping them to develop life skills. If you can’t find Michael at home, that’s normal. He’s probably out hiking, enjoying the outdoors, at an amusement park, or off somewhere spending time with his lovely wife, Brittany, and daughter, Elliana.
