Mike Spicer:  

Life 25 years later..wow. Left Tigertown and played football at Youngstown State University. Met my wife, Cathy while at college. She was an All American swimmer and still is active in both coaching and teaching people to swim. We both graduated in June of 1986 and got married in June of 1988. My business career took us from Northeast Ohio to Knoxville, Tennessee in 1993 when I took a senior management postition for Bush Brothers, you know, the Baked Bean people. My claim to fame there was developing the talking dog commercial and Bush's Bold N Spicy baked bean...I wanted it to be Bold N Spicer but it wasn't meant to be. We left Knoxville in 1996 for the beautiful island of St. Simons located off the Southeastern tip of Georgia next to Sea Island and Jekyll Island. This tropical paradise had alot to offer, but I was not there much due to flying all over the United States for a company called Rich SeaPak. They specialize in breaded seafood and snacks/appetizers. I was responsible for expanding them from food service and restaurants to the grocery stores. After 2.5 years of being a road warrior my family was homesick and wanted to head back to OHIO, so we uprooted from the island and moved to Kent, Ohio. In 1998, I became the director of an outside sales & marketing consulting team that worked within the Nestle Foods headquarters in Solon, Ohio. In 2001, I broke away from the consumer packaged goods industry to start my own consulting company. Spicer N Associates is still running strong today servicing clients all over the state of Ohio, nationwide, and even globally. Our motto for business is "Solutions for Today's Workplace Realities" We assist companies in the areas of health, safety, or risk management. It has been a wonderful ride.
