Mike's Story
Wow. My story. I confess that I like to read stories of others so I thought it fitting that I give the other voyeurs something to read.
I'll do this chronologically, though I will start with the end to say that as I write this, I sit in my office walking distance away from BHS and walk to Sam's from time to time for lunch (which has relocated).
I left BHS for Menlo School in 76. I went to college back east in New York City coincidentally with Pete Grossman. I began law school in '82. I took a year off in 83-84 and worked overseas in West Germany for the Army. Matt Fraser and John Taylor did as well.
I returned and finished law school. I worked for the government in Washington DC (happily at the same time as Rick Steinberg), then a job in Portland Oregon (where Frank Bradley and I hung out).
In Portland, I met my wife (Vicky Hamlin) and stepson (Tyler Blackman). Vicky and I married in 1995 and moved to Silicon Valley.
With the dot com bust I was out of work in 2002. I also got very sick with a rare form of stomach cancer.
In 2007, I organized a bike ride to raise funds and awareness about the disease. The ride was 1000 miles in...Expand for more
10 days from Bremerton WA to San Francisco. I called myself the Lunatic in Chief of the ride for obvious reasons. I made it the farthest (910 of 1000 miles)
Here is a story about both the ride and my illness
gistsupport dot org click on the Peter Thomas
Memorial Ride link on the left side of the page and then on "Why I Ride."
One funny BHS related story about it is that in the hospital, my ER doctor was Chris White who graduated two years ahead of us at BHS. When I recognized him, he declared that I passed my mental acuity exam (he didn't remember me). I am surviving to this day with the help of some new drugs.
After that, I founded my own firm ( mgcgroup dot com). My contact information is there.
Tyler graduated college this December and we just bought a house in San Carlos.
I am an avid bike rider and can be found panting up the hills in Woodside on Sunday mornings. I am a wanna be novelist with one unpublished work called Greed Dot Com which is a John Grisham like walk through the Silicon Valley.
If you were interested enough to read this far, it would be great to hear from you. mike at mgcgroup dot com
