Mike was born on October 3, 1949, to Wayne Clary and Josephine (Breckel) Clary in Shelton, Washington and raised on a farm in Kamilche.

Over the years Mike helped with his father’s businesses and personal properties as well as working for various companies and starting his own businesses (logging, land clearing, trucking & a dairy farm).
