It was my great pleasure to work and collaborate with "Dr. Mike" on the DNA Security Initiative during his tenure with Applied DNA Sciences. He is an extremely intelligent, energetic and resourceful top-level executive that makes good things happen on a daily basis. I only hope I have the opportunity to work with him again in the future.
