In 2007, the people of Grandview elected Mike to our water district’s Board of Directors, where he represents the city’s south east area (Subdistrict #2). Due to his business and human resources management background, the other board members have twice selected Mike to represent the District as a delegate at the annual business meeting of the state’s retirement system for local public employees (the Missouri Local Area Government Employees Retirement System).
In early 2008, the Mayor and Board of Aldermen appointed Mike to the Grandview Planning Commission, where he represents Ward III.
Mike was appointed to the non-partisan Missouri State Plan Committee by then-Secretary of State Matt Blunt in 2003, where he worked with representatives of political parties, special interest groups and various governmental organizations to develop Missouri’s plan for improving our election process. The Missouri State Plan Committee was created in response to the Help America Vote Act of 2002.
Mike is an avid baseball fan and a Missouri Tigers fan. His personal interests include reading and fitness. Mike’s favorite topics to read about are history (particularly biographies and autobiographies), economics and current events.
