Mike was born on a  farm west of Lakefield, MN to Anthony and Leath (Mittelstad) Landecker. The family moved to a farm in Dawson, MN where he grew up. Mike served in the US Army during the Korean War. After returning home, he met Helen Ann (Hebrink) from Renville, MN, a nurse in Minneapolis, while he was attending Dunwoody to become a land surveyor. They were married on September 19, 1953, and Mike became licensed with the State of Minnesota. Mike began his surveying work at Arleigh Smith in Wayzata and later was employed with Keith Caswell in Osseo, where he became a partner. Later Mike, Helen and their family moved to a lake home in Breezy Point where they started Landecker & Associates Inc., a Land Surveying and Engineering Co. Mike enjoyed church and Bible studies, farm activities, snowmobiling, camping, fishing, hunting, golfing, wood carving, taxidermy, float plane piloting and traveling. He was most happy when he was with his family and friends enjoying life.
