An exceptional 14-year-old named Mike Wimmer has bagged a degree from Carolina University in the United States while heading two tech companies as Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

Mike Wimmer is a Mensa (IQ society) member from Salisbury, North Carolina, United States. He graduated from Carolina University with a degree in Computer Science.

Before completing his associate’s and bachelor’s degrees, Mike emerged as the best-graduating student in high and was awarded as valedictorian. He achieved all these successes in the space of three years while he was running his two tech companies.

Mike says he plans to establish another company which would be commissioned by the US Military for his artificial intelligence and machine learning expertise. He also works with Atlantic Lion Share, a Bermuda-based organization aiming to protect underwater ecosystems by regulating the invasive lionfish species.

Despite having a lot on his table at a young age, Mike says it doesn’t affect his fun times as a teenager, he still plays car racing simulation games with friends, goes swimming, playing basketball or building Legos like every young boy.

“People think, ‘Oh, you’ve not had a 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥hood. You didn’t do XYZ.’ And that’s not true, I did everything a normal high schooler did, I did everything a normal middle schooler did. I’m still a kid,” Mike said.

According to CNBC, Mike claims his hobbies might be seen as a mere distraction to his work but he sees it differently as they are more helpful to his productivity than anything else. He holds a “Class A license” in an online game called iRacing, where he takes work breaks together with his friends.
