In 6th grade I was the only ‘lefty’ in my class. I thought it was pretty cool to be different, finally something about me was unique. But, I also remember that’s when I really started to notice how the world was really set up for right handers. It’s ok, as a lefty you learn to do a lot with your right hand. Now, fast forward to 10th grade when a social studies teacher told me I wasn’t really a lefty. I write with my left hand and I eat (use utensils) with my left hand. However, I throw right handed and bat right handed, so he concluded I was ambidextrous. I told him I wasn’t because I couldn’t do things equally well with both hands. His further conclusion was that since I did more things right handed than left handed I wasn’t truly left handed. I made one more comment to him which sent me to the principals office. We decided I needed to be in a different social studies class and that teacher was, yep a lefty. She told me to embrace my left handedness. So to all the lefties, today is YOUR day, embrace your left handedness (and ignore the naysayers)!

His kids grew up here and they still live here as well. When he's not on the air waking up the Valley, Mike spends time working around the house and yard as well as relaxing on the deck, usually more time relaxing than working! Weekends mean exploring the area and even after all these years, both he and his wife Lori still find things they've never seen before. Mike enjoys a little bit of online poker and spending quality time with his Pomeranian GiGi and kitty "Violet". Oh, and hockey is the only sport that matters in his house, "GO WILD"!
