After graduating from Southport HS in 1973, Mike proudly served in the United States Navy as an air traffic controller during the Vietnam War from 1974 to 1976.

In 2010 to present he was employed by Clean Air Concepts, Magnegrip Division, in Cincinnati, OH as VP of Sales.

Mike was a very social person who had a passion for water and boats. He and Cindy were married at Lake Monroe on her parents’ boat on September 14, 1986. They spent many years on weekends boating at Dale Hollow Lake in Tennessee, where they met lifelong friends. He loved helping his friends pilot their boats on several trips including the Tombigbee Waterway, the Great Lakes, East Coast and the Florida Keys. He also loved just spending time at the lake with family and friends. He had a big heart and would always lend a helping hand when he could. He had a knack for being able to fix anything and enjoyed tinkering in the garage. He was quick witted, easy going, fun to be around, but could also be stubborn. Mike will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
