Meet Us


Mike is the owner of the Countertop Shoppe and has been involved in cabinetry design, installation, and re-modeling for over 15 years.  His attention to detail and thoroughness in planning ensures that you will get an excellent product.  He was born in Plymouth to a large farming family and acquired many skills working on the farm.  He graduated from Purdue University with a BS in Agronomy, worked in research for several years, was Plymouth Park Superintendent, worked in home construction, and then moved into the cabinetry/countertop business.  When not at the shop, he is busy still on the family farm or working with his maple syrup hobby.

Cindy is Mike’s wife and has been at the Countertop Shoppe since 2013.  She has a strong background in retail business and thoroughly enjoys meeting the people that come into the shop and discussing their projects with them.  Born and raised in Virginia, she moved to Indiana prior to high school and attended Purdue University where she met Mike.  She has a BS in Pharmacy from Purdue and an MM in Church Music from Valparaiso University.  She worked as a pharmacist for many years, then as a church musician before joining her husband at the Countertop Shoppe.  When not at the shop, she enjoys making music

Meet Stella. She was cowering in the bushes outside our entrance one morning when we got to work, so we decided to make her our official “shop cat”. She has a rough job, and is a constant distraction, but we love her to pieces.
