"Street's Sugar Shack", Mike's farming property, is located about 2 miles east of Kingsley. Every early spring when the temperature starts to rise into the low 40's, he taps 225 trees to make delicious pure maple syrup. During the warm summer and fall months, Mike also maintains several hives of bees which produce raw wildflower honey. He enjoys farming his property as well, often planting grain crops.
Mike enjoys being outdoors in various activities. He loves kayaking and canoeing, both in Lake Michigan and Lake Superior. During the winter months, he enjoys 'skijoring' (a cross between snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and dog-sledding) with his Siberian Husky. He is a year-round tennis player and he is a mentor the Central High School girls' varsity tennis team.
As a homeowner on beautiful Long Lake, Mike also enjoys lakeside living and fun with his family. His wife, Jo, enjoys many activities including knitting. His two eldest sons, Chris and Justin, both enjoy playing hockey, hunting and traveling. Chris lives in Traverse City and works with his father in real estate; Justin lives in Florida and works
