Mike was born in southern Mississippi in 1954, and was baptized into Christ through the campus ministry at Mississippi State University in 1977. He finished a Bachelors degree in Animal Science at Mississippi State and worked as an Agricultural Extension 4-H Agent in Mississippi for two years. Mike completed a Masters of Science degree in Agricultural & Extension Education at MSU in 1980. He spent the 1980-81 academic year as a Ministry Intern with the McKnight Road Church of Christ in St. Louis, and then was offered a chance to be a Campus Ministry Intern with the Northwest Church of Christ in Seattle in 1981. Mike was asked in 1982 by the Northwest elders to continue working as Campus Minister. While living in Seattle, he finished a Master of Arts in Religion from Pepperdine University (1985).

Mike worked as the Campus Minister with the Laurel Church of Christ at the Christian Student Center in Knoxville from July 1989 through December 2004. He is presently the Associate Minister with Laurel.
In 1994 Mike finished a Masters in Theological Studies from California Graduate School of Theology. Mike has taught academic Bible courses for Cascade College, Lipscomb University, and Abilene Christian University (graduate class in campus ministry). He believes that campus ministry is one of the most important (but often overlooked) ministries in the Churches of Christ.
