Three men in a meeting with two shaking hands

The mission of CBMC

Mike has been married to his wife, Kim, since 1988. They are the parents of ten children, all of whom currently claim to be walking in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Mike and Kim also enjoy many grandchildren, but are confident their children can and will produce more!

Mike met his wife while attending Hope College, where he received Jesus as his Savior and subsequently earned his BA in Religion. Using his degree, Mike served two years as an associate pastor before ‘retiring.’ Mike then worked for ten years in the insurance industry, beginning as a sales representative before transitioning to corporate, where he worked in marketing management as a trainer and then as a project manager.

After leaving the temporary insurance industry, Mike joined CBMC, Christian Business Men’s Connection,  in 1997 as the area director for Central Michigan. Mike holds the title of state director for CBMC and is an advisor to the CBMC National Board of Directors. Mike earned his M.A. in Bible and Theology in 2025.

Mike wrote and published the book MAN Up! A Guide to Restoring Biblical Manhood, available at Amazon. Mike also co-authored 52 Business Adages Considered Biblically, also available at Amazon. Mike blogs and podcasts as the know God coach at knowGodcoach.com.
