Shasta Mosquito and Vector Control District

Bob Michiels was raised on a dairy farm near Green Bay, WI. He worked on the family farm until the 1940, when he joined the Navy. Bob says, "The main reason for joining the Navy was because they promised to pay me $21 a month, but as true as Uncle Sam was in those days, he remains the same today...he only paid me $17 a month." Bob remained in the Navy until the war was over, temporarily returning to Wisconsin. During his travels with the Navy, he remembered how warm California was, so quickly returned. He then began a lifelong career in retail, selling everything from wines and spirits, a bowling pin business, and a plastic pipe business. He also ventured into commercial real estate and cattle in New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, and California. In the meantime Bob and his wife enjoyed  traveling all over the world. He began serving on the Shasta Mosquito and Vector Control Board in 2003, and was reappointed in 2007.
