Mike McCoy

Mike is an international businessman and entrepreneur who has traveled extensively and worked in the consumer electronics industry for thirty years. During his time in the tech industry, the company he founded developed a variety of innovative products which were sold in retail stores around the world.
Mike is also an accomplished athlete known for long distance events. He completed a full Ironman Triathlon in 2006. He thought running fifty miles when turning fifty would be a great accomplishment, so in 2008, he ran a double Marathon (52.4 miles) on his fiftieth birthday. In 2018, Mike celebrated his sixtieth birthday with a six-hundred-mile bike ride over six days from Florence, Oregon, to San Francisco, California. His favorite joke is that he gets in shape once a decade!
Somehow, Mike finds time to write.
