Thirty years in foodservice will teach you a few things about trust.

Mike built his career the Midwestern way: show up, keep your word, play fair.

Today, he leads sales teams across the region, and his approach has paid off with some hard-won victories like hitting ambitious RTB targets four months ahead of schedule — proof of his team’s focus and follow-through.

On Mike’s team the mantra is own the outcome. Not surprising for a kid growing up in a Marine household who enlisted at seventeen. Accountability means doing things right, adapting under pressure, and staying in the fight until the job is done.

In his territory, partnerships build slowly through consistency. Mike has spent years earning the trust of operators, distributors, and clients. Those relationships keep opening doors for the brands we represent.

Three decades in, Mike’s code remains the same: deliver work you can stand behind and results you can be proud of.
