Mike had a love for traveling and had been to 48 states and several countries. He had a knack for being very detail oriented and loved to stick to his itinerary. Mike loved to keep his mind sharp, when he wasn’t traveling or spending time with his family he enjoyed reading and golfing. You could find him on the golf course at least three or four days a week. He never missed an opportunity to work on his swing.
