Michael Johnson, Neighbor

I grew up in S. Hingham, Class of 80. I lived in S. Florida for 25 years before moving back to New England about 5 years ago.

I now work with local businesses to help build customer retention and market their business. I also place advertising at many local venues including the South Shore Sports Complex on Derby Street along with other local venues such as movie theaters, ice rinks, bowling alleys and sports complex's.

I am an avid bicycle rider. Having trained hard and completing the MS150 a couple of times in S Florida. I have struggled to be consistent at riding since moving back here. Something different about riding when it is in the 80's most days vs. 20's 30's 40's etc.

Since returning to the area I reconnected with classmates, some of whom had moved out of the area and returned as I have. I have found it interesting to listen to their perspectives on different topics; perspectives that have formed because of their different life experiences.

I am looking forward to writing about the many different experiences I have had along with viewpoints, dreams and reality checks.
