About Me:
Greetings, I am Mike, the host of Nimaway. For privacy reasons, I refrain from sharing my last name, prioritizing the protection of my family’s privacy.
My journey began at age 12, where I embarked on odd jobs and landscaping ventures to save for my first car. During my high school years, I dedicated myself to full-time work at a restaurant until enlisting in the United States Air Force at 18.
There, I specialized as a Hydraulic and Pneumatic systems technician, servicing C5A, C141, and KC135 Aircrafts at Travis AFB, California.
Following my military service, I transitioned to a career in a major Auto Parts chain, where I’ve held various roles spanning over 45 years. Alongside my professional endeavors, I pursued higher education and earned a BS Degree in Business.
My career has taken me across the United States, overseeing significant automotive projects, from store remodels to new setups, as well as serving in managerial and project management roles. Even in retirement, I continue to dedicate a few days a week to assisting those in need, providing labor and support.
My Hobbies:
Beyond my professional life, I find fulfillment in family. Married with two grown daughters and three granddaughters, I cherish moments spent with them as they navigate their own paths.
Devoted to public service, I volunteer for three non-profit organizations within my county, alongside contributing to the State of California Office of Emergency Services. Additionally, I maintain a part-time job to supplement my retirement income.
In my spare time, I indulge in various pursuits, from website development to automotive repairs, household maintenance, and computer troubleshooting. They say busy hands are happy hands, and I couldn’t agree more.
