Good hire, and really glad to see Maine continue to promote their own successful people.

Much cheaper than trying to hire someone from away, too

Much cheaper than trying to hire someone from away, too

Mike was a heck of a tackle for us and got into a big car crash soon after he graduated. Congrats to him on the promotion.
