Get to know a little about Mike!

I’m a husband and proud father to one amazing daughter who keeps me on my toes—in the best way! Most days, you’ll find me at a softball field or in a gym, coaching her and her teams in a variety of sports. Professionally, I’m currently an Operations Leader at Oceanview Life and Annuity Company. Outside of work, I love being outdoors hanging out with family and friends—especially when there’s a grill or Blackstone involved.

How did you get involved with Childcare Resources?

I was introduced to Childcare Resources by a colleague who was serving on the board at the time. My family started our involvement through attending the Fairy Tale Ball with our daughter.  Over a couple years, I became more familiar with the work of the agency and was inspired to join the board to help advance the mission of making quality childcare available for working families in our community!

What would you say is the most rewarding thing about working with Childcare Resources?

The rewarding part is contributing to solutions for a significant challenge facing parents and children. Hearing the success stories of families who have benefitted from the support of Childcare Resources to set them up for success in their lives is amazing.

Why do you think having quality child care is important?  

Quality child care offers parents the opportunity to pursue their dreams while knowing their children are in a safe environment where they can build the foundation for learning throughout their lives. The community needs quality child care to allow parents to actively participate in the workforce and grow their careers. The outcome of early childhood education impacts the children well into adulthood as they learn skills to cope with and thrive in their daily lives.

What do you hope to see in the future of child care?

My hope is we continue to see more affordable options for high-quality child care in our communities to support children’s development and promote an environment where more parents can participate fully in the workforce to help them build brighter futures for themselves and their children.

What is your favorite service or program provided by

Childcare Resources?

From the mission perspective, my favorite parts of Childcare Resources are the connection between training of child care providers and resources to help parents find the right solution for their childcare needs. On the fun side, we love attending the Fairy Tale Ball and seeing the enjoyment of the children interacting with all their favorite characters from books and movies.

Thank you, Mike, for letting us get to know you and for supporting our mission to make sure the children of Alabama get the education and care they need!
