Personal
Mike and his wife, Katie, met as freshmen at Corban and married in 1993. They have two children, Morgan and Randall. Mike is easily recognizable on campus, as he is known for wearing Hawaiian shirts to class. Every semester since the spring of 2015, he has pulled off the “Perfect Semester,” wearing a distinct Hawaiian shirt for each day of class. In the summer of 2007, Mike designed and served as the general contractor of his house. In the spring of 2017, he served his sabbatical at Kauai Community College, helping out in the math department there.
Why Corban
“Corban is all I’ve ever known. My dad had been teaching here for six years when I was born. After graduating from Corban, they let me teach a couple classes while getting my master’s degree. I’ve been here ever since. I’ve never owned a pair of shoes that wasn’t paid for by Corban students’ tuition.”
