Mike and Janis (known as Jas) first met at Luther High School in Onalaska, WI.  They now live in San Jose, CA where Mike is a Silicon Valley Field Sales Engineer specializing in thermal applications for the semiconductor industry and Jas is a screenwriter with more than 200 credits in TV, video, print, and film including the WELS films My Son My Savior and To the Ends of the Earth. At their home church, Apostles, Mike is Media Outreach Elder and plays guitar in the band and Jas coordinates the video studio.  They have two sons, a daughter, and five granddaughters.  The family shares a passion for using media to reach underserved populations.  Together, as volunteers, they’ve supported several outreach efforts including the video ministry to the Hmong people, building projects in Rajahmundry, India, and video support for Multi-Language Publications, the Red Cross, LWMS, and more.  In 2013, Mike devised a portable, solar-powered projector system for use in education and humanitarian aid in lesser-developed countries including Tanzania, Nepal, and Haiti.  Mike and Jas are two of the founding volunteers of Branch Lutheran Schools of Haiti, Inc. and consider the opportunity a blessing and joyful labor of love.  In addition to work and ministry, they enjoy skiing, camping, and kayaking in northern California.
