Mike and Todd moved to Marquette together in 1981 after growing up nearby one another in downstate Oakland County. Their goal was to purchase wilderness property and to build a log cabin. Todd purchased 120 acres of wilderness property at the headwaters of the Sturgeon River in Baraga County in 1985. The same year Mike and Todd built their cozy log cabin (Cozy Cabin below) in the heart of this Michigan Upper Peninsula wilderness.
