It’s time for a Wednesday Spotlight, y’all! This last Sunday our church was blessed with a beautiful new tree-shaped bookcase in our foyer, so we wanted to shoutout Mike’s talents today and get to know him!
- Position at The Journey? I run the cameras for the live stream twice a month. Also, it seems I may have become an unofficial part of the beautification team!
- How long have you been coming to The Journey? A little over a year.
- Where are you from? Wisconsin, and have been in Texas a little over 10 years.
- Please tell us about your family: I’m married to the amazingly beautiful and talented Lindsay Albertin who runs the social media for the Journey. We’ve been married 6 years and have a wonderful, nearly two-year-old son, Samuel. We also have a baby girl coming in 3 weeks! My Mom, Kim Rohlinger, also moved to Texas from Wisconsin in 2020 and has been coming to the Journey for a few months as well.
- What are some of your hobbies? My main hobby is woodworking. I love making things and all the problem solving that goes into crafting a piece of art or furniture. I recently completed the book tree you’ll now see in the hallway at the Journey.
- Do you have any pets? Two dogs, Reggie and Butters.
- Favorite vacation you’ve taken? In the fall of 2019 we went to Ireland for a few weeks and it was awesome. Lindsay was a travel agent so we went as part of a “fam trip” so we got all these awesome tours around the country. Then her parents flew in and we spent a week with them. The best part was taking a Game of Thrones tour and being the only four people on the bus to engage with the tour guide so it pretty much turned into a private tour.
- Favorite movie? The Big Lebowski. It’s one of those movies I didn’t “get” the first time I saw it but the more I watched it, the more I loved it. We have three custom pieces of art of The Dude, Walter, and Donny that Lindsay had made for me by a custom spray paint artist. They’re super cool!
- Favorite meal? If you know me then you know I really, really love Taco Bell. If you don’t know me, well now you know!
- Favorite football team? Being from Wisconsin it’s obviously the Green bay Packers. Though the way it’s going so far this year, I hope I get some very targeted amnesia so I can forget this season ever happened.
Thank you to Mike for all he does to serve our Journey family and thank you for the beautiful new dedication in our foyer. We appreciate you!
