Who is Mike Faulkner?
“Mishawaka is a very special town, and I would say there are a lot of people that are like that as well,” said Steve Sandefer, Mishawaka High School’s Head Wrestling Coach. “Mike’s just been a great supporter, he’s loved the town, he’s proud of his roots, and we’ve been incredibly happy to have a guy like him, a family like his that supports everything we do here.” Just a fantastic mentor to have. He was concerned about everyone.”
He was the state runner-up in the heavyweight class as a senior as a 1987 graduate and great wrestler from Mishawaka High School. He went on to wrestle in college on a scholarship.
He attended Ferris State University and Grand Rapids Junior College (Grand Rapids Community College).
His record in college wrestling is 107 wins and 39 losses.
Austin and Alex are his sons from his marriage to Monique in 1995.
“He was Mishawaka through and through,” School City Mishawaka Superintendent Dr. Theodore Stevens stated. “I don’t think Mike would have chosen to live his life anywhere other than Mishawaka.”
Faulkner was instrumental in restoring the clock tower that rises tall at Mishawaka High School, and he could hear his accomplishment every time the bell rang or tolled.
