Hello. Dr. Odd here. I met Mike when he started working at Focal a few years ago. He is a real nice guy and I am glad he still is at Focal and joins us for lunch where we talk about the Cubs and the Bears. He also plays a lot of softball and I respect that. You can drop him a line here. Mike Warkentin
