Michael Finds A Loophole

Parish Photography
Michael Girdley holds up $1000 in Sacagawea coins

The first thing you notice about Michael Girdley is his height. At 6 foot six inches, he is usually the tallest guy in the room. The next thing you will notice is that Michael is always looking for an opportunity.

He loves to build things. That's why he runs the Geekdom Fund, co-founded  CodeUp, and helps manage the RealCoSeed Fund Program.

It was his love of opportunity that led him to the San Antonio airport one day with a carry-on weighing  over half his body weight (estimated).
