Mike first worked at Beaver Camp in 1989 as a maintenance assistant and started in 1995 as Program Director, just a few days after graduating from college. He is married to Jeanna and the father of two wonderful kids, Caleb and Mackenzie. Mike grew up in a home where a personal relationship with Christ was emphasized, and his faith really began to become his own in late middle school and high school. His first memories of Camp were as a young child coming to a family weekend and then as a timid 9 year old coming to spend the week at resident camp. Observing staff at Beaver Camp living out their faith played a big role in his own faith. When not at Beaver Camp and Maple Ridge Center he loves to work on their house (they have renovated two older homes), spending time with his family, and reading (especially any book written by Jeff Shaara).
