Mike Morey

Promotions: Shodan 6/17/07
Family Members: Kathy, Chris (19), Kyle (16), Megan (12), Sasha the wonder dog
Favorite Foods: Only Mr. Jones would want to know this! I never met an ice cream I didn't like.
Hobbies: Playing piano, reading, teaching Sunday school, politics, trying to avoid yard work...
Favorite Sports Teams: the Buckeyes, who else?
Past Accomplishments: Being married to the same person for 23 years, raising 3 children, never been to jail (keep the bar low, I say), starting a children's ministry at church.
Goals: I have one child out of the house and being successful on his own. Just two more to go! Those are the biggest and best goals any parent can have.
What a Black Belt means to me: That I didn't pass out during the test. Seriously, I was never the most athletically skilled growing up so to accomplish something this physical is quite a goal. It shows that I have perseverance, confidence, and the ability for an old dog to learn new tricks. More importantly my son, Chris, convinced me to start in the first place so it is a special interest that just the two of us share.

Mike is the youngest at heart in the test …
He had to work harder than all of the rest.

A special day to accomplish a goal as big as this.
A special bond with his Black Belt son Chris.

I am very proud to have you in our exclusive Black Belt Club.
You have worked so hard, thank goodness for that new hot tub!

As a father and husband, and now a Black Belt, I admire and respect all that you do …
You represent all of us Black Belts through and through!

Thanks for your humor and effort, you worked hard to the end.
Welcome to the club … I’m proud to be your friend!
