In 2006, Mike began attending Grace Bible Church and was quickly drawn into a smallgroup. In the years since, these smallgroups – and fellow believers in them – have played a prominent role in his own growth and maturity as a believer in Jesus Christ especially in providing numerous opportunities for him to grow in practice of the ‘one anothers’ of scripture. Now as a deacon, Mike serves in a leadership role within his smallgroup (as well as administrating the church website). Mike lives in Mesa with his wife, Adrienne, and their three children. For work, Mike owns and manages a brand consultancy.
