After the death of one of their five children due to medical issues, he suffered throughout his life. They left Oregon to pursue a career working with disadvantaged children, the disabled, and the elderly. Mikel and Mari have worked with over a thousand children indirectly and over a hundred directly within the foster care system. They have lived in twelve different states across the US and even lived in southeast Alaska for a year, caring for a 96-year-old woman.
Mikel has always been a storyteller and has enjoyed authoring several books, including his first book about Ryan, their disabled son, called When a Mother Cries. His latest work is for young readers, as well as the young at heart, who enjoy novels that give them their money’s worth. Mikel loves to write using history in his stories of adventure, which causes the reader’s imagination to wonder while learning.
His book, 1865 New York City Kid, is sure to capture the child inside and provide hours of enjoyable reading. Adventure mixed with history and intertwined with easy-to-read stories encourages the mind to be open to possibilities. Today, Mikel and his wife Mari live in St. Paul, Minnesota. With their work as foster parents and care providers now behind them, Mikel wants to concentrate on his writing. view less
