About Me

My name is Mike Smith. I am a life-long Arizonan. I grew up in Tempe, AZ and have lived in the Valley of the Sun all of my life. I have been married for 28 years to Donna, and have two sons (Matt, 26 and Jay, 19), and one adorable grand-daughter (Kendyl, 11 months). I am retired from a career in airport and environmental management, and Living Large in Gilbert, Arizona.

I enjoy reading, history mostly, good fiction when I can find it, which is rarely. I also write, not because I particularly enjoy it, but because I itch. Writing scratches the itch.

I enjoy the outdoors, camping, cooking, and exploring.I am an elder at Camelback Christian Church in Scottsdale, Arizona (camelbackchristianchurch.com).
