Michael Erin, an associate consultant and partner at Progressive Management & Associates, is an avid baseball fan. More specifically, Michael Erin is a fan of the Chicago Cubs, one of baseball's most revered teams. One of the Chicago Cubs’ best players to date is Sammy Sosa, who captured the hearts of American baseball fans through his consistent high home run performance. In the late 1990s, Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire went head to head for the sport's home run record, with McGwire taking an early lead but Sosa remaining close behind him. Though Sosa was ultimately outhit by McGwire, both players broke the previous single season home run record of 63 home runs. In 2001, Sammy Sosa became the only player in the sport to have hit 60 home runs or more in three different seasons. During later seasons, Sammy Sosa's career changed due to scandal, injuries, and being traded to another team. However, the power hitter still served as one of the faces of baseball during the late 1990s and early 2000s, and inspired the next generation of baseball players and fans.

Before his taking on his current position as an associate consultant and partner with Progressive Management & Associates in Chicago, Michael Erin graduated in the top 5 percent of his class at the Virginia Military Institute. Also a world traveler, Michael Erin has visited Shanghai, China. With a 2015 population of more than 23 million people, Shanghai is China’s largest city and its commercial and financial capital. The name “Shanghai” means “above the sea,” which is fitting given the city’s location at the convergence of Yangtze River with the East China Sea. Before the 1842 treaty of Nanking, Shanghai was a simple town for fishing and textiles. It wasn’t until the arrival of the British, French, Germans, Russians, and Americans, who began constructing banks, mansions, and trading houses, that Shanghai began to develop its distinct architectural style. On the banks of the Huangpu, a tributary river of the Yangtze, lies Zhongshan Dong Yi Lu, or the Bund, which is home to distinctive Baroque, Romanesque, Classic, Renaissance, and Gothic architecture. One of the most popular areas is the 26 building area of the west Bund, which draws the attention of both locals and foreigners. This famous waterfront district has been the city’s trademark for centuries. |
