MIKE STOUT
FATHER | ADVENTURER | ENTEPREPNEUR
Mike is the father of two daughters. When he was in college, at Michigan State University, he began imagine what his future would look. In every vision he saw himself with two beautiful daughters, one on each side. He never saw himself with a son playing catch baseball, football, tennis or other sport he grew up playing.
His vision came true and was truly blessed with two daughters, and now with a granddaughter.
As we all know, life throws us curve balls. But, nothing more than what we can handle. Mike became a full-time single parent when his daughters were in elementary and middle school. To allow more time with his girls he would jettison his corporate career and start his own company.
