Biography
Mike, a Kansas native from Junction City, joined Leadership Programs in January 2025. As a First Lieutenant in the Kansas Army National Guard, he was honored with the opportunity to teach Military Science at FHSU through the university’s partnership with the Kansas Guard and the Officer Candidate School Program.
In the summer of 2023, Mike relocated to Hays with his wife and two daughters. Beyond his professional role, he is deeply involved in the community, serving as a board member and coach for the Hays Wrestling Club. Passionate about youth sports, he dedicates much of his time to mentoring young athletes. When he’s not on the mat or in the classroom, Mike enjoys the great outdoors—hunting, fishing, and hiking.
