MEET MIKE SMOKE

I have been an outdoor enthusiast all my life; from hiking to climbing, skiing to surfing, fishing to hunting, I enjoy a broad array of outdoor activities. I have hiked, backpacked, or otherwise enjoyed outdoor activities in 15 countries on 5 continents. I have been lucky enough to live and work in many beautiful places to include state and national parks in 3 states, and look forward to a long career in the outdoors.
