Mike moved to Kamloops and began working for the city in 1974 in the Garbage Collection Department working his way up to By-Law Supervisor from which he retired in September 2006. He was very involved in the sporting community and made many friends through coaching Jr. Football, playing rec hockey as well as playing and coaching slow pitch and moved on to become an SPN umpire. Mike met the love of his life in 1980 and married in 1981. Over the next 35 years they experienced many things together but nothing more important than raising their children Mike JR and Misty.
