Mike became a Homes for Heroes© certified Real Estate Agent. By becoming a Homes for Heroes agent Mike's clients can participate in a program that gives them a reward, from Mike's commission, as a rebate and a thank you for their service. Mike has been able to ensure that our community heroes - , our nurses, EMTs, police, firefighters, teachers, doctors, counselors, therapists, etc.- receive a "reward" by being a part of the program.
Mike knows that giving back to his neighborhood is vitally important; that is why he became the zoning chair for the Parkwood civic association and renewed the association's registered community organization status with the city. Mike knew this role was important to the community, and attended the Citizens Planning Institute to learn more; he graduated from the program in 2019.
You will see Mike at neighborhood clean-ups run by the Friends of Poquessing Watershed and Parkwood Civic Association.
In 2018 Mike joined a local non-profit, Never Surrender Hope, to help understand addiction in his own family, and learn from families in the community about what they were going through on a personal level.
Mike worked directly with the Philadelphia Police Department's 8th district on addressing homelessness during our winter months.- We all deserve to live in safe, healthy neighborhoods.
