Mike and Paul
Mike and Paul have been friends for over 30 years and each have experienced the worst loss imaginable in the death of a child. Paul and his wife Jody, tragically lost their daughter Sarah in 2002 in a horrific car accident that killed 5 family members. Twenty years later, Mike and his wife Amy, lost their 16 year old son in a car accident and their lives were altered forever. Through the Wrecked Podcast, Mike and Paul hope to bring their stories, experiences and insights out to others that are experiencing loss, grief and tragedies of their own.
