Bio
Mike Mulkey is a surfer, author, and life coach who writes about finding the perfect wave in heaven. His passion for helping people tackle work/life integration challenges led him to launch “Surfing for Balance in Silicon Valley” in 2014 to blog about his struggles to stay afloat amidst the chaos.
After 25 years of riding the Silicon Valley express train, Mike disembarked and discovered that his world had turned upside down. His first book, Surfing in Heaven, is a true story about Mike’s journey as a surfer to find the perfect balance in life.
Mike is now living out his dream of working part-time at Trader Joe’s and writing about hanging eleven toes over the nose in heaven!
