Mike Priefer is a planner, schemer and executor.
One who gathers information, processes it and decides how best to use it.
Focused and detail-oriented, it’s hard to believe his attention span could flutter.
One sight, however, that is joined by a familiar buzz, can.
When Priefer sees blades spinning and hears the hum when a helicopter propels through the Minnesota sky, the Vikings Special Teams Coordinator is taken back to his first career as a pilot in the Navy.
“Any time I see a helicopter, especially on a beautiful Minnesota day and the sky is clear, I kind of forget about what I’m doing for a couple of seconds,” Priefer said.
