Mike grew up as an Army brat in South Carolina, where he absorbed the values of American patriotism from his father, a veteran of two wars. Those Army values have always been at the heart of who Mike is. He spent his formative years in Columbia, SC, before venturing into the moving business in 1987. It was a Grand Strand newspaper ad that made him realize the beach offered more opportunities. So, in 1989, Mike packed up his family and his business and moved to Myrtle Beach, which quickly became their new home. For Mike, family comes first, always. He loves camping with his wife, Jackie, and exploring new places, especially places that offer hands-on history lessons. But his biggest joy comes from goofing around with his grandkids and unwinding in his favorite chair at the end of a long day's work.
