My name is ED DAVIS and I am a retired Michigan State Trooper. After retiring and serving in Desert Storm with my US Army reserve unit, I worked with Mike. We were both employed with USFG Insurance company, me in Michigan and Mike in Georgia. We were both fire investigators with the insurance company.

Mike was a fine man and I admit I did not know he had turned to Law enforcement.

My best to his family and the officer he worked with. He and his family will be in my prayers and thoughts.
