Mike is a former County Extension Agent and Director with the University of Georgia, serving in Troup, Jones, Twiggs, and Heard counties. He is a licensed pilot, certified SCUBA diver, horseman, tree farmer, musician, writer, and faith-filled Christian. His grandkids, Callie, Jase, Beau, Rosie, and Millie are the real treasures in his heart. Mike lays claim to being the only other person known to have walked the high wire used by Karl Wallenda, after he walked across the 750-foot-deep Tallulah Gorge in Northeast Georgia. Of course, Mike won’t admit how far he actually walked on the cable!
