He’s been married to Alison since 1988(!), and has 3 wonderful grown-up children and 4 beautiful granddaughters. Mike worked for 30+ years in the Finance industry, helping companies burst onto the scene and grow like crazy. For a big chunk of his career, he was involved in developing strategy, and leading key teams in the organisations he worked at. Mike loves food (that’s obvious), being in the great outdoors, challenges & adventure, being on pilgrimage, all sorts of music… and of course, his primary love is Jesus.
