Mike was born, raised, and still lives in Wausau, a small town located in central Wisconsin. He was married in 1967 to Dianne, had two children (Tammy & Bob) and has two very special grandchildren (Rachel & Riley). Mike & Dianne feel very fortunate that all of their family members, also still live in the greater Wausau area. Mike & his family enjoy the outdoor activities the Wausau area has to offer: snow shoeing in the Winter, long walks with their two dogs, Tandem cycling and camping in the Spring, Summer & Fall.
