I want people to feel hope when they hear my story. It doesn’t matter where you are at or what you have done, it’s never too late to turn around.

-by grandparents (mothers) after his mom’s passing when he was 7 years old.
-Mike was in and out of the Juvenile system from 14-17, doing 3 different stints.
The last time he was released from Juvenile Hall at 17 years old he moved back to Butte, Montana to try a restart with his dad’s side of the family, it’s safe to say it didn’t work out…

Living principle:
It’s all about living a God-centered life. This wasn’t always the case for me but once I removed myself from the center of the universe and placed God there, it gave me a whole new perspective on life. It’s not about me anymore it’s about God, family, and community.
