Mike was a graduate of Wi-Hi, then joined the United States Navy. He retired as the Branch Manager from United Refrigeration after over 30 years of employment.

He had many happy memories of numerous fishing trips aboard his boat, named Sarah Elizabeth, with family, friends, and clients. Spending his hunting seasons with his sons at the Sageberry Hunting Club in Quantico, Mike was never happier than when a young hunter got his first deer. Mike will always be known for his real true love his grass. He spent countless hours in his yard, with his children's labor to make it the best on the block at the time. Becoming a grandfather was Mike’s proudest accomplishment, the smile never left his face when his grandkids were around.
