I sat in the kitchen of Mike Holland, a small town man with an adventurous spirit, and a heart as big as the whole world. His love of his family, his pride in his heritage, and the legacy he keeps alive of his beautiful grandmother, are all things that make Mike, a loving human being. Having worked with AT&T for 21 years now, Mike spent many of those years also volunteering with a group associated with his job called Pioneers Volunteer. His volunteerism has taken him all over and brought him such joy, just to help another fellow human in the midst of crisis. He has also helped with the Ronald MacDonald House Charities. The fun part of working with AT&T has been all the great people Mike has met. He joined a dragon boat team for both a domestic team, as well as an international team.
