Mike was born and raised in Ann Arbor, went to MSU, then moved across the country with stops in Chicago, Salt Lake, and San Francisco before recently resettling in DeWitt, Michigan. Mike has been married for more than 40 years to his highschool sweetheart and is the proud father of two and grandfather of four. Mike's career has been split between owning and operating enterprises and advising and consulting enterprise leaders. As an advisor who works with start-ups and turnarounds, he has been there for CEOs during their best and worst days. As an entrepreneurial CEO, he knows what it's like to "sign on the dotted line," raise millions, miss payrolls, be in the Wall Street Journal, and battle creditor committees, adverse boards, and union activists. For the past 14 years, he has been CEO of Distributed Security, Inc. and, most recently, founder of Kingdom Defense. He is a son of the American Revolution and the Michigan state coordinator for the Christian Business Men's Connection's Trusted Advisor Forums.
