In 2015, while looking for new opportunities, Mike was asked and accepted an invitation to serve as headmaster of DuBois Central Catholic School, which he did for three years in learning the area’s education needs. After a brief return to the powdered metal industry at Clearfield Metal Technologies, Mike chose to run for elected office in the 75th Legislative District.
