Mike and life long friend, TFOT president Daniel Bratcher, have been Model T enthusiasts since their youth. They met in middle school and graduated from Lee High School together. Mike still lives on the same block in San Antonio he was raised in. He enjoys a very close relationship with his parents and two sons, John and Anthony. (Check out Anthony's own "Member Spotlight" page above.) Mike is one of the corner stones of the San Antonio Model T club. His mechanical skills are second to none. Plus he is a man of his word. When he says he will help you with a project, you know that it is not just idle chatter. The work will get done, and properly. Mike does many other things for the club as well. He is an excellent chef and has cooked for the entire club, often over 50 people, during our annual Model T show on several occasions. Friendly and compassionate, you most often find Mike driving the last T at our various cruises and tours, in order to help out folks who might break down along the way. With a guy like Mike at our back, everyone gets to reach the next destination.
