Mike Strickland appreciates the way the timing of his arrival at Appalachian State connects a successful past with a tradition-rich present.
The future remains bright thanks to the support of alums and Yosef Club members such as Mike and his wife, Haley, who have contributed a gift to A Mountaineer Impact, A Drive for Excellence.
A 1990 graduate of Appalachian, Mike grew up in Lawrenceville, Ga., and helped the Mountaineers' football team claim its first Southern Conference championship in 1986. Roughly three decades later, he lives in Georgia and is the Vice President of Metro Waterproofing, the largest single-office commercial waterproofing company on the East Coast.
