Mike was an outstanding officer who had the rare ability to combine an entrepreneurial spirit with exceptional leadership as clearly demonstrated by his communication innovations while at 1/11.
His ability to think strategically is one of his strongest assets and he was always willing to share ideas. He earned not only the respect of his peers but also his Marines with his down-to-earth style.
Mike is one of the most dedicated and brightest people I have ever worked with and has my highest recommendation.
