About Mike Lopez

As an 8-year-old My Grandfather provided me with my first job at our local, downtown grocery store. My role was to fill the 'pop' cases, sweep the floors and take out the garbage. The experiences of working in a family-owned business and the example that my Grandfather provided with his care and true concern for his employees and customers was invaluable. Aside from working, my family enjoyed many successes in athletics. Both of my Grandfathers (Salem, Ohio State), my Dad (WVU), and my uncles (Salem) all played sports collegiately which propelled my interest and passion to do the same. My Uncle Bob spent many years in the NFL, and was a part of the 2013 Super Bowl staff with the Baltimore Ravens. We are a sports family. Now, as a Sales Manager at BSN Sports, I can relate with athletic directors, coaches and share in their passion for their student athletes. Although most times as a young kid I didn't want to go to work - as I reflect back - it was indeed a blessing and a preparation for a worthwhile career where service and passion for people matter!
