Born in the Nation’s Capitol, Mike left there at thirteen to attend school in Georgia at Georgia Christian School, where he graduated in 1970.  He received a BA in Bible from Harding University and spent a year working there as an Admissions Counselor.  His career as a pulpit minister includes:  a two year ministry in Benton, Arkansas, where he was also the Youth Minister; a thirteen year ministry with the Fairfax Church of Christ in Fairfax, Virginia, just outside of Washington, D.C., where he also served as a Police Chaplain with the Fairfax County Police Department; and an eight year ministry with the Altamesa Church of Christ in Fort Worth, Texas.  This was followed by a seven year ministry as the pulpit minister with the Antioch Church of Christ in Nashville, Tennessee, and since January 1, of 2005, he has been the pulpit minister here at Florissant.

Mike has a Master of Arts degree in History from George Mason University and a Master of Theology degree from Trinity Theological Seminary.  He has a novel entitled Rev, which is based on his experiences as a Police Chaplain.  He has five other books that have been published throughout the years, which include Spilt Grape Juice, Life’s Cobwebs, Unbroken Bread, Empty Baskets, and I Knew That.  He has had articles in many magazines and papers.  He has taught seminars, workshops, and had speaking appointments in 28 states and many foreign countries.  He has also been on the lectureship program of several Christian universities. 

He is a Self-Defense Instructor and an avid Bowhunter.  His wife of thirty-eight years is the former Donna Sue Curtis, and she is the Children’s Minister at Florissant. They have three adult and married children, who – so far – have blessed Mike and Donna with seven wonderful grandchildren.
