In January 2006, Mike became one of nine people to have run a marathon on the Antarctic continent. Eleven months later he returned to Antarctica to become the first American to complete the Antarctic Ultra Marathon, a grueling 100 kilometers (62.1 miles). Since then Mike has completed many other winter marathons in the coldest and harshest climates on earth. His stories have been featured in Sports Illustrated and on CNN, Fox, ABC, CBS, ESPN, and many other national and international media outlets. Mike has a twenty-year background in the recruiting business, where he helped many companies find great employees. Now he spends most of his time helping organizations to engage and keep them.
