Mike Bafus

My entire professional career has been focused on helping other people achieve their dreams. After completing 10 years in the United States Air Force, I started my career as a recruiter helping folks find the right professional fit. Then I moved on to the education industry where I helped adults overcome the barriers to achieving advanced education that led to better positions and higher paying jobs for our graduates. From there I moved to consulting with Fortune 100 companies to develop training and benefit programs for employee advancement and company risk management. In 2017, I made the jump to State Farm so that I could protect people from the risks of everyday life and help them achieve their financial goals. I love what I do because everything we do at State Farm is focused on helping our customer’s life go right.

As an Agent, my team and I are able to provide personal attention and service to each of our customers. We have a passion for helping customers understand the risks they face and helping them to develop a plan to protect their family and financial goals.

To tell you a little bit about me, I have lived in 2 countries, 10 states, and 19 cities. My family has a proud history of serving in the military and I continued tradition by serving as well. I was honorably discharged in the mid 90’s. I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from Capella University. I moved to Wisconsin in 2012 and absolutely love it. I have extended family that lives on the east coast and west coast. My immediate family is split between Arizona and here. I have become a huge Packer fan and attended my first game on Christmas eve against the Vikings. We won, of course!

In my spare time I like exploring the amazing trails that Wisconsin has to offer. My favorite so far, is to bring my dogs up to Devil’s Lake along the West Bluff Trail loop. My sister and I love to travel. Most recently, we went to Ireland for St Patrick’s Day. Next, we are interested in experiencing the England countryside and culture. One of my bucket list items is to finish an Eco-Challenge.
