Meet the Staff

Mike and his wife Lisa of over 29 years have been residents of Poway since March of 1997, and have two children, David (25) and Lauren (23). Mike also has two dogs; Maggie (a 16 year old, 13 lb. mutt) and his COVID rescue Buddy (a 3 year old Australian Cattle dog/German Shepherd mix).
