Due to the fact that 'common sense' is one of the least common things in our society, HighPoint needed a board chairman whose business perspective was based on a track record of integrity, honor, success, and wisdom. When choosing someone to preside over and help with major decisions within the company Skip asked this of his father..."Dad, our HighPoint team and I will be very busy working in the trenches. We will be working in the business and will need someone working on the business. Will you direct us and offer viable input from the 40,000 foot view?" Mickey is more than qualified for this role having served on executive level boards and committees for most of his career. HighPoint Medical is honored to have Mickey and Verdene as key leadership within the company.
