Mike grew up on the east side of Oklahoma City, in a calm town called Choctaw, living with his parents, they owned a corner store selling gas and convenience items. His dad, worked as a trucker, delivering items all over the state. His mom was a stay at home mom, cooking and cleaning for Mike and his two sisters.

Mike attended Lee University to get his degree in Philosophy, while attending the school, he met his current wife, Sue Boland.

Getting married, their honeymoon was spent in Colorado Springs, which they fell in love with. A later in life they had two kids, Bethany and Steve Boland, Mike and Sue had a busy schedule as Mike was an almost full time traveler, following after his dad, but spreading the gospel. Mike has visited 7 countries such as nepal. They lived in Eastland Texas, but 13 years after Bethany was born they moved to Montrose Colorado. In Montrose they made new friends but that was short lived as they moved to Colorado Springs.

In Colorado Springs, making new friends again, and becoming part of the boom of Colorado Springs, they settled right in. Steve had moved to San Francisco, and Bethany was attending Colorado College, where she met John Garner, and they had two kids, Josh Garner and Abby Garner.

2010 rolled around, and Mike was having a little trouble with medical issues, but despite the situation, mike took a trip down to Texas, leaving behind his grand kids. He visited San Antonio Texas, but driving south at 5:00 pm to meet a friend, Mike made a U-turn and got seriously tee-boned. Mike was in shock, but 90 miles away from the nearest hospital, he had to fly in a helicopter. "You think riding in a helicopter must be awesome, but not if you are bruised and barely conscious.", said Mike Boland. In the hospital, Mike Boland called home, where on a Friday night the family was gathered. His grand son picked up and answered the phone. Mike told Josh to give the phone to his grandmother. But as Josh was walking up the stairs the connection had been lost. Josh could tell something was wrong as he had been in the hospital for a few days with his leg broken a few years back. He recognized the beeping of the heart rate monitor. Sue rushed down the stairs and called Mike right back, where she was shocked to discover that he had been in a major accident. Shocked she screamed "You are in the hospital?!"

The whole family was shocked, as they all just froze their conversations, and stared at Sue for a few seconds to find out more. Back in San Antonio, Mike was in pain and in critical condition. Mike had thought his back was broke, but that was luckily not to be. A few days later Mike was released and drove back to Colorado Springs. But one night a few days after he got home, sitting in his recliner Mike heard the Lords voice say: "If you do not get out of that chair right now and go to the hospital then you will surely be dead by the end of the night." Mike got out of his recliner and grabbed his wife and rushed to the hospital emergency room. In the ER, Mike was diagnosed with kidney failure and heart failure due to high blood pressure.

Mike spent the next 22 days in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) on the edge of death, his daughter had reminded him of the joys that life brings, such as his grandkids and spreading the word of God. It was in that hospital bed that Mike got the strength to carry on, and after 33 days, 22 in which in the ICU, he was released from the hospital. With close planning and on a deadline, he scheduled a Kidney Transplant in 2012 with his son Steve Boland. Steve agreed to give one of his working kidneys to Mike.

On September 22, 2012 Mike received a Kidney from his son. His son who was on the other side of the curtin, thought to himself at the last moment "Think about it, I am giving a working and in good condition piece of my body to by dad. Therefore it will not be in my body anymore."

Mike Boland today (7/22/2014) 1 year and 10 months after the transplant, has a near perfect kidney score with a 1.001 (with a 1.000 for a perfect score). Mike on 7/24/2014 will be undergoing a total knee surgery for his left knee as they had x-rayed both knees and discovered that he had been walking bone-on-bone for the last half year, so the doctor arranged for a total knee surgery. Mike's total goal for next year after getting his second knee replaced will be to conquer the Incline in Manitou Springs.
