Mike grew up on a beef farm in Huron County and began his career in the Trucking Industry in 1990 at the age of 18. At the age of 21, Mike went to work for a long-haul refrigerated and general freight carrier and spent 5 years hauling freight in all 48 US mainland states and six Canadian provinces. The carrier then opened a Certified Driver Training School in 1998 and Mike came off the road to become one of the schools’ first certified driver trainers. Mike later transitioned into Safety and Compliance for the fleet, while still working part-time as a trainer for the school. In 2002, Mike moved over to a private fleet and became the Safety, Compliance, Maintenance and Training manager for the Hensall Co-operative’s Commercial Trucking Fleet.  Mike spent the next 12.5 years with Hensall and oversaw fleet growth from 40 trucks to over 160 trucks.  In January of 2015, Mike moved into the Trucking Association business and was named the President of the Private Motor Truck Council of Canada, where he remains in his current role. Mike has been a CITT Certified Logistics Professional (CCLP) since July 2021.
