Mike grew up on a farm where he learned the value of hard work. He is the proud father of six children, an active member of his church, and currently lives with his wife of fifty-two years in Brigham City, Utah. He served in the United States Airforce in Communications Intelligence and was stationed near Istanbul Turkey. After his honorable discharge in 1974, he graduated from Weber State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting.
Mike is currently an active member of the League of Utah Writers and although he has been writing most of his life, he didn’t get serious about writing until he retired in 2014. His third novel “Clairvoyant” was awarded the Utah League of Writer’s Silver Quill award for adult literature. He just published his thirteenth book “The Invitation”. In addition, he has contributed numerous short stories to League-sponsored anthologies.
Mike loves most things out-of-doors and in his younger days, he backpacked, hunted, and fished the mountains of Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming. Now that he has hung up his hiking boots and backpack, he still enjoys exploring the great out-of-doors with his wife from the seat of his side-by-side.
