Mike Faulkner was most recently the Director of Operations for School City of Mishawaka. Before that role, he was the Assistant Athletic Director at Mishawaka High School, the former Parks Superintendent and MHS Hall of Fame Wrestler. A 1987 graduate and talented wrestler from MHS, he was the state runner-up as a senior in the heavyweight division. He went on to wrestle on a scholarship in college.
