Mike Rolf - Petroleum Delivery
After spending thirty-three years working indoors at an office equipment business , Mike was ready for a change . He wanted a job where he could get outside on the road , a job that did not require wearing a “ shirt and tie ” everyday . He decided to pursue a Commercial Driver ’ s License , and soon after discovered Mid-County Coop .
“ I walked in the door and talked to Quay and Bill ,” Mike recalled . “ They were friendly , and we had a great talk . They invited me back for an interview .”
After accepting a position with Mid-County Energy in August of 2019 , Mike was sent to St . Cloud for further training for propane delivery .
Mike and his wife Marlene have two children , Krista ( 37 ) and Dillon ( 27 ). Mike was born and raised on his family ’ s farm near Bongards , an unincorporated community in Carver County .

One of Mike ’ s great passions is motorcycles . He owns two .
“ I have probably driven two million miles in my life ,” Mike said . “ I ’ ve been riding since I was ten years old .”
Mike has retired from full-time delivery , but has come back to help during the busy seasons .
