Mike was born and raised in Hampton township where his family has lived for more than 50 years. In addition to three sisters and two brothers, there was always a dog at the family house as well as various other animals ranging from pet mice to peacocks.

Mike worked in the cable industry for years but never lost sight of his dream to work with animals as a career. Guided by his love for dogs, he hoped to open a kennel on his parents seven acres of property but found that the zoning would not permit that. Mike then found the perfect location in Hampton and spent months remodeling the 4000 sq. ft. facility to match the specifications of the Doggie View Training School in Missouri that he attended. The result is a wonderful place for dogs to play, rest, and get lots of attention while their owners are away for the day.
