Micky Whalen

Micky Whalen got his first job at age 8 making boxes in a chili parlor. He did not realize that he would spend the next 47 years providing guests with meals and telling them to have a nice day. Micky always tells his kids that what you do for a living doesn't define who you are, how you do it does. Micky called North College Hill home for over 50 years. He is honored to serve as President of the NCHCC.
