Meet Mike Stevens. He is a rocket scientist......really he is. I'm not just saying that to make it look like I have smart friends. He works for ATK. They design and produce rocket engines for the space shuttle. He lives in Tremonton Utah (for now) with his wife and two daughters.
A few years ago Mike received the nick name "The Gas Man" (don't ask) during our hike through the Grand Canyon. That was a really fun trip. Kent was also with us. Mike worked really hard for months to get in shape for that hike.
Mike is an exceptional wood worker. He without a doubt has the best mechanical mind of anyone I have ever met (that's probably why he became a mechanical engineer). He knows the engineering part, but is also able to do the hands on part which is very rare in an engineer. Mike's most special talent is his ability to befriend someone and show genuine compassion even if he has never met that person before. It's not easy. I've tried it, and always come off looking like a cheap fake.
Mike has a killer Jeep. It is orange. Just like his favorite T shirts that now number 7 (at last count). Mike is a hiker, backpacker, snow shoer, and firearms enthusiast.
