He’s been struck by lightning three times, caught in avalanches, and managed many complex rescues on North America’s premier mountaineering destination. Mike has also led six expeditions to Mount McKinley and the Alaska Range, and is an avid snowboarder, rock climber, and photographer. In 2004, Men’s Journal named Mike one of the 25 Toughest Men in America, and in 1998, the American Red Cross named him a Wilderness Rescue Hero. Mike lives in Mount Rainier National Park.
