Random things every one should know, and admire about this "Birthday Boy"...
Mike is lovingly known as one of the "Valley Boys".
He loves the Star Valley area where he grew up. Let's just say you can take the boy out of the Valley, but you can't take the Valley out of the boy.
Mike loves the great outdoors. He has been known to wake up at 5am, go for a long hike up in the mountains alone, to get out of the city and reconnect with Mother Nature. And then be back at 9am, just as everyone else is barely rolling out of bed.
He is very good at woodworking, and made a gorgeous log that is up at the cabin.
He loves to try new things...bonsai gardening, fly fishing, and gourmet cooking to name a few.
He is the most patient guy on the planet, always puts others needs ahead of himself, and is still living that scout motto of doing a good turn daily.
He loves the gospel, and is a very dedicated member of the church.
He's a great husband and the perfect match for Lisa.
He's a great dad!
His "dangle baby skills" are much better than Michael Jackson's.
At 6'4" he will forever hold the honor of being the tallest member of our family... we look up to him not only physically but also because of his many great attributes.
Happy Birthday Mike!

Everytime I see Mike in the CES Education video I think, "Now there is a great guy." Happy Birthday Mike.
haha, Jane's comment made me laugh. I keep forgetting he's in that video. And even after all these years?! I also have to say, I love how I am totally oblivious to what Mike is doing on the inner-tube boat. What a watchful eye I have! ;)
