“I had the pleasure of working with Mike for 2+ years at Simms, and I’m fortunate to count Mike among my professional mentors. Mike is incredibly hard-working, and he expects much of himself and the people that work for him. What separates Mike, to my mind, is his ability to strike a balance between demanding boss and compassionate mentor. At Simms, Mike is often remembered for his relentless pursuit of the challenge at hand (and his endless supply of idioms and adages, or “Mike-isms” as their commonly known at Simms HQ). But what sticks in my mind is Mike’s ability to connect with anyone and everyone at Simms. Mike’s work output and the hours he logged were second to none, but what separates a leader, in my opinion, is not the work they output, but the work they can inspire others to output. And Mike encouraged folks, to a person, to want to do their best work. A high tide raises all boats, and Mike demonstrated that in spades at Simms. On a more personal note, Mike was and remains a terrific mentor of mine. I appreciate Mike as a mentor for many of the same reasons I appreciated working with Mike: he’ll tell it how it is, regardless of whether that’s what you want to hear. He’s also incredibly supportive of the people with whom he works. As I contemplate what comes next in my career, Mike has been a valuable sounding board and a resource I continue to go back to. This is only possible because Mike both takes a genuine interest in getting to know and understand people and is willing to support in whatever way he can. I think Mike’s professional track-record speaks for itself. But what is less clear on a LinkedIn profile, and what I hope to convey here, is how exceptional a leader Mike is, why I think he is so effective, and what a pleasure it was working with him.”
