My name is Michael Harold Wilke.  I am second-born of six children. My genetic ancestry is a wild mix of Catholic/French/Canadian/First Nation Anishinaabe (mom's side) and Lutheran/German (dad's side). At the age of 74 years, I consider myself to be physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually in excellent condition.

I am currently single, but have been married twice to a couple of beautiful and loving ladies. Jeri is the mother and co-parent of Jamie and Jason. Bonnie is mother and co-parent of Ryan, Marie, and Andrew. All of our boys are married and have families of their own. They were raised in a secure, loving, and relatively stable Caucasian middle-class American family atmosphere.

This life has been - and continues to be - a breathtaking roller-coaster ride, filled with plenty of life's challenges and celebrations. I have managed to mature and grow soulfully from consciously making decisions in my adult life. I Rejoice in positive outcomes while learning powerfully motivating lessons from some wrong, troublesome, and/or difficult choices.

My life coaching techniques have synthesized through honest and open interaction with others, interpretation of personal experiences, along with lifelong reading and studies. The focus of studies have been in the areas of astrology, psychology, religion, and spirituality.

LOVE, PURPOSE, and DISCIPLINE are embedded in me partially as a result of the parenting I received. In adulthood, love and discipline have been developed through relationships of all kinds.

The alternative lifestyle that I live now is the result of a personal breakdown that brought me to my knees mentally and emotionally at thirty-nine years of age. Throughout the following years of self-motivating recovery, I have become an expert on ME. Recovery has not been easy; requiring what was, at first, an uncomfortable self-loving focus. Time and patience have allowed self-help therapies to bring health, happiness, and healing into my life. Within the parameters of my alternative lifestyle, I thrive as a peaceful, loving, and tranquil American guy. There is very little drama in my life.
