Mike's Story
Life
The son of a Navy man, I attended many schools until arriving in Port Orchard at age 10. On graduation from High School, I attended the Naval Academy and went from there to the USS ALEXANDER HAMILTON, a nuclear ballistic missile submarine. I left the Navy after my 5 year obligation and eventually joined the Environmental Protection Agency spending my last 18 years there as the Director of the Region 10 Laboratory, the best job in the Agency. I retired in 2004 to join my wife in England for a year while she attended the University of Newcastle. Many adventures later we returned to the US and moved to Bellingham, Washington. We enjoy hiking when weather permits and have seen amazing country in the mountains of this country. My wife opened a ceramics studio, Baker Creek Ceramics, a few years ago and is a very accomplished ceramics artist.
I have been married to Debbie McCunn, my best friend, for the last 20 joyful years. Frightfully intelligent, perceptive, fun, beautiful and wicked sexy, she is a perfect partner and even after all these years, love, laughter and lust dominate our time together.
My son Schuyler, now 34, has been a constant source of pride and friendship since he landed in this world. He graduated from Eastern Washington University with a degre...Expand for more
e in Environmental Science with an emphasis in Geology. He is married to Tara, a wonderful woman. He works for Holland America in their Sustainability Department and Tara is a Physical Therapist. They make an excellent couple and excellent babies. Logan joined the party in 2014 and is adorable. Conrad, now 2 months old promises to be brilliant and wicked handsome. They are currently living in Seattle.
My daughter, Ashley, has likewise been a joy since she decided to join us 33 years ago. Loving, compassionate and smart, she is living with her husband Cliff, another great person, in Duvall, WA. Cliff is a Seattle police officer and Ashley is fully engaged raising Anders, the most delightful 4 year old young man you could imagine and Alaina, 1 1/2 years of focused control. She, too, is adorable.
Josh, Debbie's son, lives in Bellingham and works to fund his inventions. 32 years old now, he is a fun guy who is still searching for his occupational passion.
Life has been great to date and we are lucky to be living in a place where we can be hiking at 7,000 feet in the morning and finish the day off with a cocktail overlooking Puget Sound. Healthy and happy we count each day a blessing. Happiness is a choice but with Debbie and our family, it is an easy choice.
Cheers
