Supporting comments: "An exceptional leader who combines his ability to envision the big picture with outstanding communication skills and to share that vision with his peers, Mike has been an outstanding leader and captain of the football team as well as an excellent leader on the indoor and outdoor track teams. Mike was selected as an ESPN Academic All-American Track and Field athlete and was also awarded the North Coast Athletic Conference Sprinter/Hurdler of the Year. His strong leadership is just as evident in the classroom, where he has served as Head Tutor in Economics for two years and as Teaching Assistant for Microeconomics. Mike’s combination of extraordinary abilities with dedication and a work ethic make him an outstanding role model."
