Opportunity can come at the most unexpected times and places. While at his sons goalie training. Mike noticed Valentus’ Ted Wilson  doing work in the bleachers when their sons were at a hockey camp.

“Ted said everything right and introduced me to the products.The products turned into a passion that I wanted for my friends and family,” Mike says. “That grew into a profitable, successful network marketing business that eventually gave me time freedoms to enjoy the people and things that make me smile.”
For the past 20 years, Mike has serviced power lines around Alberta, Canada, as the owner of Ultra Power Construction Ltd.
