Mike discusses how Crosstown Fiber is building diverse, high-capacity fiber routes critical to data center interconnection and why planning and engineering are key to avoiding costly connectivity issues. He also opens up about surviving stage four cancer and how that experience shaped his company’s values, leadership style, and culture of doing the right thing — because it’s right.
