Personal Interests

In his spare time, Mike is an avid golfer. He can hurl irons at small objects with deadly accuracy. He’s rarely on par and has never bogeyed the 19th hole. Legend has it that while playing a round at Paiute Golf Resort in Vegas, a rattlesnake bit him. After five days of excruciating pain, the snake died.
