Michael (Mike) served on the board since September 2015, culminating in his term as president from 2022 to 2025. Upon completing his term, Mike decided to pursue other adventures, though he remains a vital member of SLRA and will continue to be involved. A lifelong resident of the Silver Lake area and a Shelby High School graduate, Mike is a passionate dune enthusiast.

Mike and his wife, Sarah (a Hart High School graduate), were married on the shores of Silver Lake, near their current home. They are proud parents of Levi, a student at Hart Public Schools, and are actively engaged in the local community. The family enjoys frequent dune rides and exploring off-road destinations across the United States.

Curt is a founding member of the Silver Lake Recreation Association (SLRA) and was instrumental in establishing the organization's framework and securing its non-profit status.

A second-generation Silver Lake enthusiast, Curt's connection to the dunes began in the late 1960s, when he first explored the area with his family as a child. He quickly fell in love with all that Silver Lake has to offer. He and his wife, Tracy (whom he met at Silver Lake in the early 1990s), have three grown children and one grandson who all share their parents' love for the dunes and frequently visit during the summer months.
