Mike is originally from North Ridgeville Ohio. After graduating high school, Mike attended Lee College from 1969 to 1973. During his first year at college, Mike felt the calling of God on his Life and felt that the Lord was directing him into fulltime ministry. Consequently, Mike changed his major from Business to Religion. Also at Lee, Mike met his wife Gail. They were married in 1973, and have been serving the Lord together for 34 years.
Not long after being married, they moved to Alma, Georgia where Mike severed as the Youth Pastor at the 10th Street Church of God. From Alma, they went to Bartow, Florida where they worked at the Bartow Church of God for several years.
In 1978, Mike came to Pastor Praise Cathedral (formerly known as Pinellas Park Church of God), located in Pinellas Park, Florida. Mike has been the Senior Pastor here at Praise Cathedral for the last 29 Years. During this time, he has had the privilege of seeing God work miracles in every sense of the word. From Salvation Experiences to Healings--God has blessed Mike's ministry at Praise Cathedral.
Mike and his Wife Gail currently have two children: Jessica and Andrew, Jessica and Mike's son-in-law Eric currently serve as Youth Pastors on staff at Praise Cathedral. Mike and Gail are new grandparents with the arrival of their grandaughter, Abigail.
