Mika was born on December 12, 1961 in Helsinki, Finland to Aleksander & Hellevi Markovich. A lover of the outdoors, he loved to hunt, spend time at his deer stand, and just enjoying the scenery. He was known as a “manly man” and enjoyed telling people that he was a boxer and that he was undefeated. A well-traveled man he traveled to multiple countries and states. Mostly he loved his family, spending time with them and sharing his wisdom every chance he got.
