Mike a 67-year-old man who lives in North Carolina with his wife of 45 years Ann. He has four grown children. He worked thirty-five years in the Internet and Telecom industries. He was involved in 5 startup companies one of which was purchased by a fortune 15 company for several billion dollars. After leaving the high-tech world he started a consulting company helping small companies to launch new products, sales training, and leadership development. During this time, he was a member of seven different churches. Five of which were startups. He is an ordained elder and was men’s ministry director at four of those the churches.
Mike's story tells of the strategies used in the high-tech businesses to sell big and reach corporate determined goals. These strategies and goals were often cut-throat and required behavior and actions that countered his faith. Sadly, he saw many of the same business metrics used in the churches he helped start. Mike currently is developing a full-time men’s ministry and is currently mentoring and coaching over twenty men. Mike speaks to the issues of men contending with a culture that seeks to stereotype and demean them.
Special thanks to Mike for sharing his story.
