Michael's grandfather started RAE Manufacturing in the 1940s on 8 Mile Road in Hazel Park, Michigan. Michael learned the trade of running screw machines, at the family business, while attending High School. He purchased his first car when he was only 16 years old. When the company fell on hard times in the 1970s, Mike left college (MSU) to lend a hand and eventually took over as sole owner. He moved the company to Port Huron, Michigan and grew the business into a multimillion-dollar CNC company.
