Mike was one of our top machinists at NUMMI. He built many prototype tools and e
quipment for the engineering staff. Mike was always focused on detail and was ab

st of the time we only had to give Mike the concept of our problems and he would
come up with a solution on his own. Michael Scott, Engineering Staff Specialist
