Mike has an extensive history in the banking industry, starting off in a call center for the largest SBA lender in the country at the time. Over time he was promoted to manager in electronic banking and then to Executive Assistant to the Chief Banking Officer.

He was recruited from there by a marketing company managing multiple projects including building out warehouses and distribution centers, managing national seminars, and coordinating events as the Director of Administration/Compliance.

After leaving the marketing company, Mike started a cabin resort in Donner Summit. He began working in trust administration with a small law firm in Nevada City, finding that he enjoyed providing much-needed guidance to people at a critical time in their life and helping them navigate family dynamics.

Mike has a master’s degree in Non-Profit Management from Yale University. He loves theater and supporting nonprofits; he likes to volunteer and help people, assisting in getting them back on track. He has two children he is very proud of; his daughter recently climbed the first twelve pitches of El Capitan, and his son is enrolled at UC Santa Barbara in Neuroscience.
