Michael Kenneth Lemon was born on June 24, 1956, in Webster City, IA, the son of Gerald K. and Janice (Kramer) Lemon. He attended school in Fairmont and graduated from Fairmont High School with the class of 1974.

Following his graduation, Mike worked for a short time for a pig farmer before moving to Colorado with a friend and finding employment in the open pit coal mines of Colorado. After working in the mines, Mike then followed in the footsteps of his father and began a career in the printing business.
