Mike grew up on a family farm in Lyons, Nebraska, which had corn and soybeans, as well as a cow/calf operation. Michael began raising hogs at the age of eight that provided a real-world education on farm finances. Today, he owns and manages the farm with his brothers, continuing the conservation program that’s been passed down from his father.

He joined Peoples Company in 2021 and understands that for most farms and ranches, the land is the most important asset of the operation. Helping each owner attain the highest return for the sale of their farm and providing the right match for the buyer is his objective.

Michael and his wife, Cindy, have four adult children and six grandchildren.

Mike earned BAs in Biology and Mathematics from Augustana University in Sioux Falls, as well as a BS in Systems Science and Mathematics from Washington University in St. Louis.
