In the early 2000s, Mike founded and operated his own Internet Service Provider business. He oversaw everything from infrastructure design and systems administration to customer support and business operations. Managing an ISP gave him deep insight into how technology connects people, and it reinforced his appreciation for reliability, communication, and customer trust — principles he still applies in his work today.

As a seasoned System Administrator at ClearCom IT, Mike continues to enjoy the problem-solving and innovation that come with managing complex systems. He’s known for his hands-on approach, attention to detail, and ability to simplify technical challenges for others. He thrives on continual learning and finds satisfaction in improving systems that others depend on daily.

Outside of work, Mike loves hiking, cycling, and spending time outdoors, often seeking out new trails or quiet scenic spots to unwind. He’s an avid traveler who enjoys discovering new places and cultures — from coastal towns to mountain escapes — and he values the simple things that come with getting away from screens and reconnecting with the world. He also enjoys gaming, mini-golf, and the occasional historical drama binge, with Outlander being a recent favorite. Above all, he enjoys meaningful conversations, time with close friends, and the chance to experience life at a pace that feels genuine.
