A foundation that has now come full circle as Co-Founder and CEO of Points West Environmental. Mike is an avid outdoorsman and a sponsor member of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. Away from work you will find him outside; hunting, fishing, camping, skiing, and more. He is a big Arizona Wildcat fan and any time the Cats are on, you can bet he’s watching.
