Mike was a big fish in a little pond! Raised in Scottsdale, he grew up to be an amazing athlete who enjoyed riding dirt bikes and motorcycles with many. He was a great friend to all; especially during his childhood.

Mike became a 101 Airborne Ranger for the United States Army, serving from 1976-1980.

He later pursued the culinary industry to become a certified chef for 40 plus years. He mastered his artistic abilities to create one of kind recipes.

He was a man who loved fishing, creating jewelry, dancing and making people laugh. He was a long time member of the Mountain Motorcycle Association and was a strong willed family man with a heart of gold; always there to help anyone and everyone, doing whatever he could. His heart was bigger than him! May he always be remembered for his impact on our lives.
