Mike Graduated from Riverdale High School in 1976 where he was a member of the swim team, District President of Decca, and a member of the Phi Sigma Chi Fraternity. He attended MTSU and began his more than 40 year career in the asphalt and concrete industry. One of Mike's greatest joys in life were the 16 years he dedicated to coaching youth baseball. During their influential years he helped create bonds and friendships that carry on with the players and families he touched throughout his coaching career. Mike made a priority of continuing the guidance and support that defined the love he had for them. Mike was a beloved husband, father, brother, coach, mentor and friend. He will be dearly missed by many.
