Raised to have strong moral values and a good work ethic, he is also a vivacious consumer of business and economic news. "I have a good healthy curiosity about everything," Mike says.

      Mike and his beautiful wife of 43 years, Lisa, have been blessed with three children, two granddaughters, and one grandson. A Pocatello native, Mike is a true enthusiast for life.
