Mike was raised by a single mother who taught him that every challenge should be face headfirst. His mothers’ challenges raising two children taught him that even in the most difficult times to always remember they are only temporary. This simple, yet powerful concept has stuck with him as he has never seen a problem as unsolvable. Mike believes that all people posses the potential to be the best version of themselves even in their darkest moments.
Mike is no stranger to challenges; however, his fierce power of pursuit, tenacity, and grit have proven Gods plans are always worth following. Mike is a father, youth baseball/softball, community and church leader, and an advocate for change. Mike leads with intent and empowers those to develop, grow, and prosper in their environments. He challenges them to think beyond problems directly in front of you and to widen your lens. Most problems require simple solutions, however simple solutions require great understanding.
