raised on a small farm in Washington County, learning about hard work, respect and moral decency, and above all, to appreciate
and value all forms of life.

adversity to dyslexia and went on to have a prosperous career in construction. Mike has been self employed for over twenty
years.
In the spring on 1987, Mike met his future wife, Jan at a small get-together for
a friend's birthday. A strong connection and bond was immediately formed and they were happily married a year later.
