Narrative:
Have you ever met a guy who went surfing in a hurricane? Living on edge is Mike’s lifestyle. As a youth, when the waves weren’t breaking Mike was working on the plants at his family's farm. In the summer time he worked 8-10 hours a day picking tobacco and driving a tractor. Growing up, he kept with his hobby of gardening and became a landscaper. As a landscaper, he maintains the grounds of office buildings and residential areas. During his free time, Mike likes to go camping and kayaking at Falls Lake. Since Mike has Native American blood, he enjoys studying and hunting for Native American artifacts. Mike has found many arrowheads, but his most prized find was a spearhead that was washed up on the Falls Lake beach just after a storm. After Mike finds an artifact, he gets his handy Native American book and dates the artifact to the appropriate time period. Even though the arrowheads and pottery pieces are not valuable to the museum, they are worth a lot to Mike.
