FIELD
After graduating from college in electrical engineering, Mike served a two-year missionary term in Kenya. It was there that Mike first considered career ministry.
After some volunteer work with college and young singles, Mike was appointed as a Campus Ambassador in 1978. He first served at the University of Utah, then in 1980 moved to Ellensburg to plant a new ministry at Central Washington University.
Mike says, “We serve an awesome God! My passion is to see students’ lives changed by the power of Jesus, and to plant and strengthen college ministries that help facilitate that change. I want to see students encounter Jesus, be empowered by the Holy Spirit, and become equipped to minister while at college, in the local church, and after graduation.”
His plan is to develop the ASU ministry and plant other Campus Ambassadors ministries in Arizona and the Southwest. As Mike serves as Regional Campus Specialist, he will have opportunity to oversee existing ministries, recruit and train new staff, and scout new campuses for potential outreaches. Mike also serves as the Phoenix Area Director.
FAITH
Mike, raised in a Christian family, made a conscious commitment to Christ while in high school.

In 1991, they moved to Minneapolis to begin a new ministry at the University of Minnesota. The winter of 1999 found Mike, Melody and son Matthew relocating to Tempe, Arizona. They now work on the campuses of Arizona State University-Tempe and ASU-Polytechnic.
