Mike was a genuine, inspiring and warm human being who will be loved and missed for the conviction and passion he imparted to others about living life fully and making common cause with the collective human enterprises of healing and building a better around the framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), an enterprise I joined him in.

In addition to being a wonderful friend, Mike was a man of many talents with a great heart. He always had an interesting perspective on current events, and a delightfully goofy sense of humor. We will miss him terribly, and send our love to all his family.
