On Staff Since

2016

Sport

Mikal didn't play sports growing up (if she had, it would have been ballet! or if reading could be counted as a sport, she'd have been a gold medalist at a very, very young age), but her daughter is a figure skater and her son fences!

Role

When Mikal first started, she lived in Omaha and was our admin of all things. Then when she moved out-of-state, she took care of in-house communications, marketing, and other administrative things. In the Spring of 2024, she moved up to Operations.

All About Mikal

Mikal and her husband, Mark, have been married since 2006. They have three crazy kids and a hilarious daughter-in-law. They moved to Oklahoma in 2018 when Mark retired from the Air Force, so Mikal has worked remotely for us since then. Get to know more about Mikal!

Don't let the fact that three-quarters of them are friends--two of them very close friends--of mine make you think I'm biased. They're truly that good!

2. If the Lord gave you a new calling outside of FCA, what do you think it would be? He actually has. I write Christian fiction under a pen name.
3. What is your favorite Scripture? Romans 8:38-39: "For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
