Mike G.

Franchise Owner

As working parents with demanding careers on Wall Street, Mike and his wife have lived the challenge of keeping three active sons engaged and on the move every day. The logistical challenge of getting them from baseball to basketball to play dates and birthday parties -- not to mention on top of homework and properly fed and stimulated after school -- sometimes felt like a third full time job. That's why when Mike learned about Jovie, his first thought was, where have these guys been all this time? His second thought was that he wanted to be a part of Jovie's efforts to build stronger families together on Long Island.
