Mike is one of the hardest working individuals you will find. He is dedicated to getting the job done no matter how small or how large nor how long the project takes to complete. His upbeat attitude coupled with an outgoing personality allows him to work with anyone in a professional manner.

It was my pleasure to work with Michael at Ogin Energy. I have personally observed his strong work ethic and commitment. His knowledge of CAD tools such as Solid Works as well as his knowledge of Mechanical Drafting and GD&T has always impressed me. He always enthusiastically supported to support me when I had questions or need help.
