About

Welcome to Mike Decides, where 30+ years of IT leadership meet a passion for the finer details of food, technology, and global exploration.

As a veteran IT executive based in the North Dallas, Texas, area, I’ve spent my career navigating complex systems and making critical decisions. This site is an extension of that “decisive” mindset, applied to the things I love outside the boardroom. Whether it’s deconstructing a recipe, reviewing the latest tech, or navigating a new travel destination, I’m here to research so you don’t have to.

What You’ll Find Here:

  • Food & Recipes: From backyard grilling in Texas to culinary finds across the globe, I share recipes and techniques that focus on quality and flavor.
  • Tech: Leveraging my executive background to provide insights on how technology impacts our daily lives—from the perspective of someone who has seen the industry evolve from the ground up.
  • Travel: Expertly curated travel guides and tips, focused on maximizing the experience through thoughtful planning and a technologist’s eye for detail.

I believe that life is best lived with a plan, a great meal, and the right tools for the job. Thanks for joining me on this journey.
