Mike married the love of his life, Vicki Inell Wetzler in Omaha, Nebraska, on October 6, 1979. Mike and Vicki lived in Omaha until they moved to Plano, Texas in 1985 when the company he worked for relocated. Mike spent most of his life doing what he loved. Working in golf course construction, golf course maintenance or golf cart fleet maintenance until his retirement as Irrigation Supervisor from TPC Craig Ranch, McKinney, TX in January, 2010.

Mike was an avid golfer who loved playing and watching golf on TV or in person whenever possible. One of the highlights of his many years of playing golf was the hole-in-one he hit on Hole #6 at Stonebriar Country Club on May 3, 1989. He was so excited he threw the ball into the lake! When Mike wasn't working in a golf related business, he was an electrician's apprentice for Tab Electric and Petri Electric. He was affectionately called "Sparky" by his co-workers. Mike was a loyal friend and was loved by all who knew him, worked with him or worked for him. As a manager, he was a teacher who taught his staff how to do things the right way the first time even if it meant it took a little longer to complete the task.
