Sneaky smart

Mike is one of the most intelligent people I know. He's what I call "sneaky smart" - he's super laid back and approachable, but incredibly smart and knowledgeable in a non-egoistic way. His wealth of knowledge seems limitless and he has the business acumen to provide solid advice on almost any issue.... I would recommend him to anyone.
