Personal
Mick and Jen have three children -- Ben (married to Mandi), Caroline (married to Aaron with grandson James), and Karl -- that are all blessings to them. Their family is quite active at First Evangelical Lutheran Church where Jen is an organist. Mick sings in barbershop quartets whenever possible, and golfs when work and volunteer activities allow. Raised 30 miles from Green Bay, WI in the 1960’s, Mick is an avid (or is that rabid?) Packer fan.
