Mike in real life
What keeps you busy outside of work?
My home life is busy trying to keep up with my four children and wife of 25 years. We enjoy playing games, finding new hiking trails, and watching good movies.
How do you give back?
I served our country for six years in the USAF and served in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Additionally, I have been a member of the Louisville Rotary Club where we help families in need and ensure the less fortunate are not forgotten.
Any words you try to live by?
Lead with kindness, act with integrity, and help people become more than they believed possible!
