My relationship with Mike was just like the typical, little bro you have a lot to learn. Mike and I met at Abundant Life Family Church in 2005, when I was 11 years old. I grew up in a house with just my parents. To be able to have an older role model around, like Mike, made me a lot of who I am today. Mike carpooled with my family every Sunday to Church. Mike was able to see the stresses of an 11 year old, and help him see clearly. Nothing changed for our brotherhood as I entered my 20’s. Mike showed me how to always deal with conflicts in fun. He never had a bad attitude about anything. In 2020 as a young entrepreneur, that is an important trait to have.
From the day I met Mike he was always working hard in the moment, as well as for the future. Mike had vision! Mike always stayed involved with our church whether it was with the Media or youth. Mike understood how important it was for him to be a role model for a young man just like myself. I know the success that I already am, as well as the success to come later, will be attributed to lessons learned from Mike.
