Mike was raised in Winnipeg, but spent his weekends and every available minute in the Whiteshell Provincial Park hunting, trapping, and fishing. Straight out of high school Mike purchased land nearby and eventually built his own log home. He and Debby spent many hours peeling each log by hand.
After having spent a number of years guiding for other operators, Mike started his own outfitting business. Whiteshell Outfitters has slowly grown over the years, expanding from deer, to bear, waterfowl, and ice fishing, all the time remaining a small and exclusive operation, where every client is directly served by Mike himself.
Together with his wife Debby, they have raised three children in their tiny community. Their girls, although now away at university, grew up mixing bear bait as their after school job. The youngest, Mitchell, is still at home and has grown up on the trail or water, and in the bush with his dad, learning all his tricks and techniques.
