Way to go Mike!
Mike Wade was the first one to tell me "There is no exit strategy in FIRST."
He has helped so many teams, students and mentors and is part of the foundation for the Chesapeake Regional. Mike has no "off" season as he is then traveling up and down the East Coast helping with team events and numerous demonstrations. For 3 years, he spent 11 days each August, inside the leaky, hot and humid NASA tent, promoting FIRST at the Maryland State Fair, including the 3 day competition, one of the most challenging in FIRST. Anyone who survived that experience will tell you what a bonding time it was!
Mike has a quick wit and is always a pleasure to be around. I am looking forward to the fun at the Capital Clash (sort of like the Maryland State Fair only the petting zoo has gone high tech and air conditioning...)
A most well deserved nomination!
