To Mike, the most rewarding part of being a manager is watching the next generation of staff succeed.
“Coming from a family of teachers and social workers, I always wanted to make a difference for people. That’s why I am drawn to working in the infrastructure and transportation markets and mentoring – they make a big difference in people’s day-to-day lives.”
