Given the nature of Mike's job responsibilities, he's pretty much guaranteed that he will never show up and have the same day twice. "I enjoy the variety in what I do. Constant system updating requires constant problem solving. New and consistent challenges each day: That's how I like working."
Mike has always been "a car guy." He used to participate in vehicle enduro racing — which he says, "is a lot like a moving demolition on a dirt track that gets wet down." These days, he's slowed his roll a bit and participates in classic car shows often parading his '77 Buick Regal.
