Mike was a 1985 graduate of Dwight High School and received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Illinois in 1989. He worked as an accountant at Farm Business Farm Management for many years and was a member of the St. Paul Lutheran Church, Forrest.
Mike's family was his greatest priority. He was an extremely loving, caring, and attentive father, but his favorite role to fulfill was Papa to his grandchildren. His spare time was consumed with cheering on the Illini, trying to take a few strokes off his golf game and farming.
