Veterans In Business Show With James Van Prooyen

Mike grew up around the military as his dad was involved in the Army for 41 years. Mike was a great athlete from a young age and could have tried both baseball or football. He chose to pursue football and played college football before realizing that his dream of playing professional football was not to be. After trying college after returning home, he quickly realized he wanted something else. Mike joined the Army and served eight years as a combat medic. After getting out Mike went back to school and got a business degree. In 2015 he founded Heroes Sports as a non profit. Heroes Sports wants to be an example for others going through issues transitioning from the combat zone to civilian life and show ways that would assist in their transition.
