Since age 14, Mike has played organs, pianos and keyboards in churches from Ohio to Nebraska.  "One who sings prays twice" is his core belief - something he stresses for all generations who visit, or attend regularly.  Performing music that enlightens spiritually is his passion.  "To play a new selection is like driving down a new country road."

His goal at Grandville United Methodist:  to help members and visitors discover their God-given musical abilities ...and to share them often in our worshiping community!  

In his spare time, Mike enjoys working with ornamental plants and keeping in touch with two adult children and six younger siblings.  Also visual and performing arts events, traditional contra dances at Grand River Folks Arts Society, fitness and reading.
