They both worked at Deutsche Bank in Frankfurt and because of that they had a pretty good financial condition. Mike has both german and american citizenship. After he finished high school, he decided that he wants to follow college in the United States so he chose to move to Miami, mainly because he always loved the city. His parents couldn't go with him because their roots in Germany were too deep, but Mike said that he will be fine by himself. He found a house in Dade County whose owner was renting a room. Mike occupied the room and paid the man in advance. Throughout college his parents helped him pay his rent. After he finished college Mike found work at a car restoration shop, whose owner was spending all day looking for old and beat up cars to buy at prices of nothing, then bring them back at the shop, have them restored by his crew and then sell them. He hired Mike because of his passion for cars and because he knew a thing or two about them. The first months were hard but in time he adapted well and loved his job. He also formed a very tight friendship with the owner of the house he as living in. Since they both lived together, the man was the one that got Mike into guns. Mike also married the man's daughter Sarah, despite the fact that there's a 6 year age difference between the two of them. When the outbreak started, Mike was at the shop, working with the rest of the crew on a '68 Mustang. Initially they all wanted to barricade themselves in the shop until they would be able to figure out what to do. But Mike had different plans. He had to get Sarah first. He tried calling her but it was useless as there was no service. In the end he decided to go and pick her up from the library she was working in. He managed to avoid the undead by sticking only to alleys, avoiding main streets and beying absolutely quiet. But once he reached Sarah's working place he found that she wasn't there. Mike couldn't stay there as there wasn't so supplies, no anything, just books. So he waited until the coast was clear and he got out of the library and headed home. With any luck Sarah might have gone there. It took him two days to reach home safely, but when he did so he was very dissapointed to see that there was nobody home. Mike stood there in his homefor about a week, but when supplies started running out he decided to go out on raids. He armed himself, he took a backpack to carry supplies with and went out. Unfortunately for him his first raid for supplies was not very successfull as he was cornered by 4 cubans who wanted to rob him as he was going home. Not wanting to give up the stuff he put himself in danger for, Mike quickly pulled out his gun and shot one of them without blinking and then the 2nd. After seeing walkers come, attracted by the noise, he made a run for it while the other 2 bandits weren't paying attention. He eventually made his way to the docks where he took shelter on a boat.
