The book is hi effort to document some of the important things he has learned and observations he has made and pass them along to others who might benefit from them as well. Michael and his wife Betty were high school sweethearts and are graduates of the University of Mississippi. They have two grown children, both with MBAs and very successful in their own right, and three wonderful grandchildren. They are active members of Idlewild Presbyterian Church in Memphis, TN. Michael started his business career with IBM. He went on from there to become a partner in a technology equipment leasing organization, and was President of a large technology consulting firm in Chicago. In addition, he served on the board of a Mid-south banking organization for almost ten years. After selling his business interest in Chicago, Michael and Betty returned to Memphis and, shortly after, he wrote his first book, Good Choices Good Life. He then started a small educational nonprofit, which promotes good choice-making through topics on its website, www.GoodChoicesGoodLife.org. Read More Read Less
