Provide the background information for your leader.
My leader’s name is Mike Ross. Mike grew up in Hawaii and Southern California. As a young person he was self-destructive. He was a surfer and spent a lot of time on the beach. One of his jobs after High School was sailing yachts from Honolulu to Los Angeles for wealthy people. He eventually moved to Texas where he met his wife. As a result of spending time with his wife and her family he began going to church where he eventually took Jesus as his Lord and Savior. His life found new purpose.

In all of those cases, a leader must show the way to success and be a consistent example. A leader is many things, but he is a torch
