Mike graduated from Elkhart Central High School, class of 1982. Mike received a scholarship from Butler University for football, where he was a 2-year letter winner. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in education, and while there he was also a proud member of Sigma Nu Fraternity. Mike then completed his master’s degree from Olivet. Mike started his teaching career at Northridge High School in 1987. During his time at Northridge, Mike was a part of both the baseball and football programs, in many different roles. To this day, he is still the winningest baseball coach in program history. After 34 years at Northridge, Mike served as a substitute teacher at both Goshen and Elkhart Community Schools. Mike loved spending his summers fishing, especially at Bear Lake in Northern Michigan. Mike loved to spend time with his friends and family, and he never missed going to his son’s games.
