He knows that all people are worthy of love and compassion.

Every day, Mike aspires to be more like his hero: Mr. Rogers. For Mike, this means always leading with empathy, and changing the conversation around addiction. He works in harm reduction, helping people with substance use disorders (SUD) safely access essential, life-saving resources. He knows that all people are worthy of love and compassion. "All of us are human beings," Mike reminds us. He urges everyone to treat others with care rather than judgment—just like Mr. Rogers.
