After 35 years working at L.E. Cooke Co, Mike decided to retire.  But that lasted only a week or two before Mike had to be back at work or go stir crazy.  Mike continues to use his vast knowledge assisting the sales staff in the capacility of inside sales Monday through Thursday 8 to noon.  He is also covering by phone the area including states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, New England states and Canadian Territories of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario and Quebec.

Mike has been with the L.E. Cooke Company since 1979.  Not only does Mike know just about everything about selling our products but he has probably planted just about one of everything in his yard at one time or another for personal observation.  Prior to his lengthy career at LEC, Mike had great retail nursery experience at leading nurseries in the state.
