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 RealCo Seed 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).
