Mike Garrison
Personal Summary
Married to my tough and beautiful wife Cristal, one stepdaughter, KayLeigh
Have loved the outdoors from a very early age and chosen many pastimes that require mountains,
which is odd as I have lived in Indiana most of my life…
Seeing as how I do not excel at any one sporting discipline, it’s great to have found a sport that requires you to merely be decent at 3, or 4 or 5…
