Meet Mike, Mesa Utilities Senior Engineer

What’s your superpower?
I can’t tell you; it would give away my secret identity. If you’re talking about ordinary superpowers (so just regular powers?) it would be my ability to simplify complex, technical topics such that non-technical people can understand.

If you could snap your fingers and become an expert in something, what would it be?
This question is a little soon after the Avengers movie, isn’t it? All impropriety aside, I would love to be an expert in raising children. I recognize the tremendous impact I have on my children and am acutely aware of how inadequate I am in this task. Also, they are incredibly messy.

If you could write a book about your life, what would the title be and why?
Mike Logan, A Memoir. This boring title would reflect my uninteresting life, and attempt to sound more sophisticated than I actually am. After the Publisher edited it the title might be something more along the lines of Hard Work and Lucky Breaks.

What’s one thing you’re learning now, and why is it important?
That success in life is not just the product of my own hard work and intelligence (good looks played a large part too, I’m sure). There are many other factors that impact success in life: Various mentors that help along the way, timing of entering the industry (at the end of a recession, not beginning), lucky timing applying for internships, etc.
