Personality (as described by Lisa): Mike is an all-around good guy. He’s a “what you see is what you get” kind of
person. Everybody likes him as he is fun
loving, considerate and kind. He is what I call a “kind soul” who is compassionate
and patient yet has enough backbone to do what needs to be done. He is down-to-earth, level-headed, and well
grounded. When making decisions, he uses
good judgment and common sense. He is a
hard worker and is willing to help people in need. His temperament is “even keel” and he is slow
to anger. He’s a man of his word. He always thinks of how his actions will
affect others and is interested in doing the right thing.
Health:
Excellent. Exercises 4-5 times a
week.
Early family background & home life: I grew up on a farm and loved working with my
dad. Learned how to do chores and have fun playing with all my neighbor
friends. Always active in Little League
sports. Enjoyed exploring with my
friends. I had a great time being a kid.
Mom and Dad were the best.
Parenting philosophy: Do exactly what my parents did . . . lots of
love, tons of support, good structure, discipline when needed, and the freedom
to learn from both good and bad decisions.
