"Insightful, intelligent writing meets common-man likeability and disarming wit." - Renee Horsman, President, Photo-Card Design

"Mike  Finley is one of the most creative writers I know, able to communicate effectively across a range of media." - Rich Broderick, writer
"I love my magazine too much to leave it in the hands of ordinary writers. When I had a particularly difficult article to assign, requiring not just brains and grace with words but that rarest of all things --- a sense of humor -- I turned to one writer I knew would be able to handle the piece: Mike Finley. - Steve Kaplan, Journal of Law & Politics
"Mike Finley is one of the best all-round writers I've encountered. You name it, he can do it -- history, business, tech, medical. He's fast, funny (when called upon), accurate (what a concept!), and smart." - Brian Horrigan, curator, Minnesota Museum of History 
"I have been a fan of Mike's writings for over 25 years. What I have noted is that Mike makes even the driest subject humorous, entertaining, inspiring, though-provoking, but at all times interesting and enlightening." - Ed Eubanks, Pinnacle Property
"I have worked with dozens, if not hundreds, of writers over the years, but I can honestly say none have astonished me as much as Mike Finley. He has the rare ability to produce concise, intelligent, and thought-provoking work at blistering speed. On top of that Mike brings a unique mixture of poet, commentator, and business expert to the table, with a little bit of the seminary mixed in for good measure. He truly is a 21st century renaissance man." - Euan Kerr, News Editor, Minnesota Public Radio
"Mike quickly captures complex ideas, with a writing style that is clear, interesting and a pleasure to read." Tom Miller, Executive Director, The Masters Forum
