Mike began a long career as a Refractory and Inspections Specialist in 1964 with Turn-Around Maintenance and later joined R. W. Jenkins in 1977. He gained worldwide recognition for his expertise and eventually retired from R. W. Jenkins in 2017. His love for his family was so great that he and his wife adopted their niece and nephew. Mike was known for his love of “catching fish”.
