Mike was born and raised in Hagerman and lived directly across the street from the elementary school. Anytime there was a game that involved a ball at the school and no matter who was playing, Mike would join them. That is where he developed his love of sports that continued throughout his life.
Mike’s father Bud instilled a love of nature very early in Mike’s life. His very favorite times were spent with family and friends in the mountains enjoying the outdoors. He enjoyed many hunting trips with his Dad and family and many fishing trips to Alaska with family and friends.
