He attended Connors State College for a period. Mike arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1999 with a vision of making improvements to himself as well as helping other improve. He worked with at-risk youth at Carson Valley from 2000 to 2008. This sparked his interest further in helping today youth and he became the coordinator of The Drug and Alcohol Unit for Sant Gabriel Hall for Juvenile Boys from 2007 to 2017. His experiences with youth created a growing gnaw in his gut to further make a difference. Mike became Co-Owner of an in-patient Clean and Sober program that thrived from 2016 to 2019. In 2018 he became a member of the Philadelphia Anti-drug Anti-violence Network where he would go out into the community with resources. Still, this was not enough for Mike. In 2021, he approached his current partner and said “I have some ideas to address some of the violence today. Let’s do something that will make a difference.” From this thought grew a partnership with Lisa Taylor and P.U.L.L. PEOPLE UPLIFTIING LIVING LIVES was formed. Mike and his partner have educated people on recognizing mental health issues and the impact on current violence today.

Mike truly believes in putting time into those who will guide our future.
