Mike attended Buckley High School and worked as a Butcher at several of the area grocery stores. When he was not working, he was assisting his mother with his 6 younger siblings.
Mike enjoyed going to the Stafford Motor Speedway. He would visit often before his health started to decline. He enjoyed cooking and watching television. He was also jokester.
