Mike began his fitness career working the past 7 plus years at Berry’s Barbell and Fitness in Columbus, Ohio where he was the Sales Manager. Even though he was the “sales manager” for Berry’s, he was a jack of all trades, as he also did a majority of all the deliveries and installs, as well as some service. He was also responsible for ordering of equipment, scheduling deliveries and installs, account receivables, and managing and operating the retail store. Mike brings a pleather of experience in the full process of selecting and purchasing equipment. He knows what it is like to sell, as well as get his hands dirty doing the delivery and installs.
