Colleagues describe him as "I managed Mike and was his fellow supervisor at Patch. If I could use one word to describe Mike's approach to his job it would be heart. He put his heart into his job every day. He cared about his co-workers, his community and his employees. He was a leader by example. He built St. Michael Patch to be one of the most successful in traffic and engagement in the Midwest and country. He continually sent advertising leads to ad staff and as a result sales matched his traffic and engagement successes. He used the skills he learned to teach others how to effectively cover their communities and connect with readers on social media. He knew many of his readers in St. Michael and established strong connections that resulted in lots of story ideas. Readers always knew that Mike would cover stories quickly and thoroughly. He was goal-oriented. He had friendly competitions with co-workers each month, which encouraged everyone to meet and exceed their goals. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Mike. I know he will be a wonderful addition to any workplace. If you have any questions about Mike's time at Patch, feel free to contact me at 507-330-4442 or kvoegele1119@gmail.com." and "I had the privilege of having Mike as my direct supervisor when I was a Local Editor for Patch.com.
