Mike Leathers
Executive Vice President
 |
Mike is Commercial Printing Company’s Executive Vice President, a position to which he rose after starting as a pressman in 1982. After thirteen years with Commercial Printing in that initial position, he launched a trial run as a part-time salesman. Seven months later he put his press experience to work full-time, advising customers as he represented the company. Mike strives to be his customers’ best source for information and answers about their printing and mailing projects. In his leisure time, Mike likes to fish on Lake Logan Martin and to spend some time on the links. Mike has three grown daughters—one of which is a teacher and two who are college students. Mike and his wife, Dee, live in Leeds, Alabama. His backyard is a bird paradise, filled with feeders. “I really enjoy watching the different types of birds coming to the feeders; it’s a very relaxing time for me.” Phone: 205-745-3012 |
