Mike brings over twenty years of retail store managerial experience, including strong knowledge of retail sales, team building, training, business development, financial management, and operational excellence. Mike is here to help provide the best customer experience, and to support our friendly team at the Snohomish and Monroe Co-op.
When Mike isn’t working, you can find him fishing. He’s an avid Bass Angler, and these days he mostly fishes in small tournaments. In past years he’s fished all of the “bigger” tournaments in Washington and Oregon. He’s currently the president of the Northend Bass Club. Every year for the last 13 years the club has held a charity tournament supporting Seattle Children's Hospital. In the last 10 years they have been able to contribute more than $36,000 directly to Children’s.
When Mike isn’t fishing, he’s likely making custom fishing lures. He pours lead jigs, paints custom hard baits and makes soft plastic lures. Growing up Mike had dogs and cats of all sizes from wiener dogs to Great Danes

Hired in 2019, Dan is new to the Co-op team. Specializing in personnel management, and project organization, he works tirelessly to maintain the Co-op properties, to oversee remodeling projects, and to lead our safety team.
Dan grew up in agriculture in Michigan, helping his family raise poultry, cattle, horses, and pigs. His first job, at age 10, was driving a grain truck next to a combine harvester.
