He graduated from Center High School in 1960, playing basketball in high school and junior college. In 1962 he went to work for his dad who owned Mission Highlands Super Market.

He married Marsha Peter in 1963 and they had two children. They enjoyed many summers at their Ozark's lakehouse, swimming, boating, and hosting many get togethers with family and friends. They also enjoyed many trips to worldwide destinations thanks to AWG. He loved to bowl and was a member of many couples and singles leagues in his earlier years. In his later years, he loved playing golf with friends at the lake. Mike will be remembered for his love of all sports, but especially the KC Chiefs, KC Royals, and the K-State Wildcats.
