Summary:

Raised as a country boy on his grandparents farm in Mt. Pleasant, TN, the farm raised dozens of chickens, 4-5 horses, a dozen cows, a couple of ponies, and had a creek and pond on the land. Living at this location until his mother Bethany finished 2 year of her nursing degree from Columbia State, they then moved to Murfreesboro, TN where she then attended Middle Tennessee State University to finish her degree. Just before moving to Murfreesboro Bethany met Tim Malugin who she would marry a few years later. During the time of his mothers undergrad at MTSU they lived in family housing on campus, then moved to 324 s bilbro ave. 324 was located in a predominantly black neighborhood just blocks away from the mansions on East Main Street. While growing up at 324 we made many friends in the neighborhood, but none better than Denis Malone, Micaiah's business partner (Their business venture described below). Denis, Micaiah, Jesse his brother, and a few others where always together as inseparable friends. However, after their business venture had ended and years of high school ending they would separate as different paths were taken. Some of them would deal drugs and go to jail, and others (Micaiah) would attend college at the local state university and graduate 9 semesters later.

Through his life he wore many job hats such as: farming, lawn mowing, landscaping, restaurant work, house framing, warehouse work at Nissan, office work at AUTRANS, working at Walmart, life-guarding, managing, and finally working at Fleet Feet Sports.

College life was a swift and fun time, playing intramural sports, going on school trips, and working on campus. For the first few semesters of school bad habits from high school created a stressful classroom experience. However, after his first two semester of struggling in the class room he decided change was needed, moving from local college apartments to a house his parents bought for him to rent out and live in while paying the mortgage, he buckled down and work hard on his grades. After only two more semester he took his grades from D's and C's to A's and B's. Also during this self transformation he was promoted at work to Aquatics Manager where he was over 30+ employees, along side this promotion he became the Triathlon Club President where he received scholarships and awards for being an outstanding leader. This club was a great opportunity for students as triathlons are expensive for students, the club made this affordable due to the funding that was provided by the state.

College Sweetheart Marjorie was attending Middle Tennessee State University on scholarship for track and field. As a track runner himself in high school Micaiah was continuing his training for fitness at the colleges track. On one cold day in the late fall he met Marjorie while doing his daily run training. He became friends with her over the next few weeks, but that was short lived as she was returning home to France to finish her studies. During this time they kept in contact while she was gone even though she had not planned on returning, however she did return. After 3 months the school extended her scholarship for track. Upon her return they made if official, boyfriend/grirlfrend/bestfriends. After this next summer she would leave again for 3 months, but this time she planned on returning. As she finished her undergrad at MTSU she could no longer stay in the states, during this stressful time she was gone for 3 months, came back for 3 months, then had to leave for 8 months while she was completing her Masters degree in France. After being gone for 8 months she then returned back to the states for another 3 month visit, after this 3 month visit we then both returned to France where where Micaiah proposed while stayed at her family's home in South France for 3 months. Once we returned to the states they married in the Murfeesboro court house as they only had a 3 month window to do so. They were wed in the courthouse on Wednesday so in two years they could have their official wedding on Saturday. Two years later they wed in August 25th.

Adolescence Business Venture:

Someone who has always been interested in mechanics and business, he started a lawn mowing business at the age of 12 years with his best friend Denis Malone. Denis and Micaiah started their business "American Mowing" in the summer of 1997. Starting with 1 push mower between the two of them, they ended the summer with a fleet of 2 riding mowers, weed eater, 3 push mowers, and a small pull behind trailer to hook to the riding mower as neither of them where old enough to drive a vehicle. The small business grew and branched off to mower repairs for the neighborhood along side their developing business. This small business continued until they reached high schools, then finally they disbanded and sold off most of their inventory of mowers. "American Mowing" 1997 - 2001.
