Mikel serves as editor and sometime writer for Nspirement. He’s willing to tackle any assignment, really, but prefers editing. Writing can take you anywhere and is a little unpredictable (or maybe it’s just his writing). Take this bio for instance. When he started writing, the goal was clear: make it fun and interesting. “Interesting” is no problem. He’s worked on a farm, owned a bakery and worked in healthcare. He’s lived on the Navajo reservation in Arizona as well as in Vienna, Austria. And boy, has he traveled! He’s been to Italy and France, Spain and Portugal, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan. He loves foreign cultures and foreign places. He’s interested in renewable energy and dreams of buying an electric vehicle some day when there are more charging stations around. He cares about his work and hopes it can impact others so they have a better life, or at least a better day. But “fun”? Does the liberal use of parenthetical phrases count as fun? (Say “yes” or else he might start typing a “Dad” joke!)
