Mike on University Life:

University was a great time for me to come into my own. I had lots of fun! I remember thinking there are 16,000 students on campus and at least 8,000 are women, so I should never have a Friday night without a date…

Random Mike FAQs:

The most difficult thing I’ve even done was that I Ran a 40 KM Marathon. Also dealing with the death of both of my parents.
I have always been interested in political leaders, and I would love the chance to meet one, like Churchill, Hitler, or Lincoln.

My room is not a nice picture, I’m sure it’s my creative side coming out…

My favourite kind of music is classic rock

I would consider dying for a Mushroom burger

When no one is watching, I’m lost in thought…Or planning someone else’s life.

To just be myself is to be Friendly, Happy, Easy Going, doing something positive.

My dream is to write a book, to climb to the top of a mountain, maybe Mount Baker,
to have a log cabin on a river, and to influence the lives of people in every
country of the world…

Digging Deeper:

I have always wanted to make a difference in the world. I thought Biology was the way to do that. Then in a 3rd year ecology class I remember a professor talking about
the problems of the world and I realized that the real problem was nothing that science and technology could solve, that it was a ‘heart problem.’ That day I realized if I wanted to make a difference it would have to be by finding a way to change the hearts of people. Jesus Christ had changed my heart so I became committed to wanting to introduce as many people as possible to the one who could deal with heart problems.
