Mike Schliske was born and raised in Lebanon.  Mike and his wife lived in Central Oregon for a few years, but were drawn back to Lebanon where they had three children and have lived here ever since.

Mike was a painting contractor for many years and started is own painting business in 1992.  He has been in and around residential construction and real estate as long as he can remember.  When he decided it was time for a change, he wanted to do something that he was familiar with, housing.  This made real estate a natural and easy choice.  For many years now, Mike has been involved in an annual Christmas dinner and toy drive for needy children from the Albany-Lebanon area.  With his free time Mike enjoys riding his motorcycle, smoking a good cigar, fly fishing and spending time with his family, especially his two young grandsons.
