About the Owner:
My name is HB “Mike” Michelson and have been called Mike all my life.
After High School was getting ready to go off to college when WWll  started.

Knowing we could not win with out my help I enlisted in the Navy as aviation

cadet and came out a 2nd Lt in the Marine Corp. Flew 4 years in the Corp then

came back home and went to work for Cessna Airplane Co. as a sales rep.

Spent the next 20 years flying in various jobs. In 1970 move to AZ and ended

up in Scottsdale where I spent another 10 years as a home builder and developer.

Then to Sacramento and became a lawn sod farmer did this until I retired in 1994.

 But retirement was not for me so looked for a business I could run from home,  

Zippos was the answer and now at 83 years young I have a booming home run business.
