Mike to California in 1973 from Indiana and shortly after arriving fell over a water fall in Santa Ynez Valley. My claim to fame falling 150 feet and being of sound mind and body, grateful for that. He attended Dos Pueblos High School in Goleta Ca, and attended Cal Poly SLO. His  major of studies was Animal Science 83.

Mike worked for many years for the Jordano Family in Santa Barbara and Santa Maria. Jordanos Foods Division and Pacific Beverage 1981 - 1996 / 1999-2002

 Most of his career working for Jordano's and Pacific Beverage was in supervision.

 Coca-Cola:  Warehouse Supervisor. Landed at Coke in 2002 and found a great fit with the knowledge obtained working in management with Jordano's and Pacific Beverage. Working for a world renowned company and the most recognized trade mark in the world offered many new opportunities.

Currently supervising all warehouse operations, Receiving, Loading and Quality. In addition to my regular duties I am the Community Champion for Coca-Cola in the communities we serve on the Central Coast. Representing Coca-Cola has been the most enjoyable aspect of my job. Engaging with Community Partners and organizations is what our company strives to be a part of. Sharing situations of community pride to help to foster and develop non profits and community programs. We offer beverages and man power to help many organizations off set costs.
