Born and raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Mike studied engineering at Purdue University and worked as a management consultant with Accenture for eight years. After his training at Covenant Seminary in St. Louis, Mike and his wife Mandy moved to San Diego in 2009 and planted their first church. In the summer of 2021, Mike and his family moved to the south side of Indianapolis to extend the reach of the gospel to this growing community.
Mike and Mandy enjoy camping, hiking and rock climbing with their kids and friends, and a good pick-up game of soccer or basketball. They both enjoy classic literature, compelling biographies, and just about any good story. And they love living in Greenwood with their four kids: Olivia, Joseph, Greta and Henry, and dog Ridley.
