He is a third generation milk man in Lassen County; his family originally owned Lassen Dairy, and Lassen Distributing, of which he became a partner in 1972. In 1975, Mike and his father bought Morning Glory Dairies from the local farmers who owned it as a co-op; then in 1981, Mike bought out his father from Morning Glory Dairies and incorporated Morning Glory, Inc. In 1983, Mike turned Morning Glory, Inc. into a broad-line wholesale food service provider.

With sincere thanks for all that his community has done for him, Mike feels that being active in the Foundation is the most rewarding manner in which he can give back to his community.
