Mike has been a resident of Forest Lake since 2010. He is married to Sonja, and together they have five children. Professionally, Mike works as an Investment Advisor and is involved in Property Management.
Alongside his wife, Sonja, he co-founded the Forest Lake Area Good Samaritans, inspired during a marathon training session. After a storm hit Forest Lake, Mike thought it would be fun to help a neighbor in need and, with Sonja's encouragement, decided to see if others in the community would join in. The response was overwhelming, and the Good Samaritans were born.
Mike often describes the joy of helping others as a “Helper's High,” a rush that comes from giving back, and something he finds deeply fulfilling. Among his favorite "Pay it Forward" moments is the Cleanest City in America event. He also takes pride in supporting families recovering from fires, knowing the impact of offering immediate assistance in such difficult times.
