Mike has been actively involved with OC Curling since 2010, including serving on the Board of Directors as well as the Dedicated Ice Committee. His passion for the game comes naturally; he hails from a long line of curlers, with several of his relatives serving as presidents of US curling associations and his grandfather having helped organize and participate in the curling demonstration competition at the 1932 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid .  Professionally, he recently retired from a rewarding career in a senior executive role specializing in handling international business for a major title insurance company.  Away from the office and the ice, he is active in youth soccer officiating and enjoys quieter pursuits, spending free time happily absorbed in reading and exploring new destinations through travel.
