Our Rotarian of the Week Mike Geesey grew up in Kemmerer, Wyoming and was a Kemmerer High School Ranger. Our special Rotarian’s first job was delivering the Rock Springs Rocket Miner newspaper for a dollar a day in 1964. It was good pay. Our Rotarian of the Week eventually left the delivery business and went into the numbers business. Currently, Mike Geesey is the Director of the Wyoming Department of Audit. Mike and his wife, Lisa, have been married for 31 years. Mike enjoys golfing, snow skiing and computer programming. His favorite meal is steak medium rare and spinach. Mike’s favorite part of Rotary is our Student of the Month recognition. He enjoys hearing about the students’ background and their plans and hopes for the future. Next to family, Mike’s proudest accomplishment is being appointed by the Governor, Secretary of State and State Treasurer to his current position as Director of the Department of Audit for the State of Wyoming. Mike has been a member of our Club for nearly two decades and has served as our Club Treasurer since 1998. We are very fortunate to have Mike keeping our books straight. In appreciation for one of our hardest working Rotarians, the Sergeant at Arms presented Mike with a gift certificate to Poor Richards and fresh spinach.
