In 1961 he enrolled at Arizona State University in Tempe. He served his country in the United States Army in Panama during the Vietnam War Era. Following his discharge from the Army, he began working in computer programming for various companies in Chicago and Southwest Michigan. His working life was a means of living an enthusiastic life of fitness, recreation, and sports, even dabbling in sustainable farming. While at ADF Accounting he met and married his former wife, Mary Lou, and proudly became the stepfather of her three children.
Mike deeply valued his family relationships and friendships and maintained them faithfully. He retired from Western Michigan University in 2000. In 2001, he was married to Vanita Bodnar.
