I want to thank AAUS for letting me conduct this interview and the opportunity to reach Mike.

Mike is a candid individual, easy to talk to, with a vast amount of knowledge. I was and felt amazingly comfortable during the interview, Mike took the time to explain everything and, on some occasions, more than once.

Thanks
