MEET MIKE
|
I was born and raised in Jackson County. I met my high school sweetheart and beautiful wife of 43 years at Vandercook Lake High School in Jackson. We are the proud parents to 3 adult children and grandparents to several beautiful grandchildren. We chose to raise our family here because we love our community. I also chose to run my business here in the 16th senate district. I am an active member of the Jackson Free Methodist Church. I also enjoys hunting, fishing, golfing, working out, and being an avid woodworker in “grandpa’s workshop.”
