Mike has recently retired after 30 years of work in the financial services field. Like many in the field, he started off as a teller and worked his way up to SVP. The major focus of his work was in back-office operations where he oversaw the support of all bank products. Early in his banking career Mike was introduced to CFT. For the last 25 years he has taught in the classroom and online for CFT working with literally thousands of students over the years. Mike has a Bachelors and Master’s Degree in Sociology from the University of Central Missouri. He has also earned many of the same CFT diplomas and certificates that his students strive for now.
