He served as a board member and chairperson of the Rush City Hospital Board, Fairview Lakes Regional Medical Center Board and most recently the Fairview Health System Board. Mike has also been an active member of the Chisago County Hospice Board and Rush City Commercial Club.  Mike currently sits on the Unity Bank, Rush City Chamber of Commerce, Green Acres Country Care Center and the First Evangelical Lutheran Church Boards.
