Personal

Growing up in a small town in Michigan, Mike values his midwestern roots as he partners with hard-working family business owners and management teams in industrial focused companies. While his passion for driving value runs 24/7, in the time that remains after chasing around his twin daughters, he likes to think about playing golf, might work out and loves the idea of reading a book. He has a dog named Waffles.
