Michael Grotte


Music Lover (Blues, Classic Rock) Yes, Led Zep! ~ The Coach ~ Neighborhood Pet Protector

Born and raised in the heart of Wine Country, Mike’s first love was Soccer – restaurants came second. On soccer teams from elementary to junior college, he developed lifelong friendships with teammates and rivals. In high school, he began his career as a restaurant dishwasher and worked up to manager by age 21. For ten years, he travelled to open or help the newest restaurant in California, Arizona, and Nevada.

Mike was sent to Reno to manage a restaurant and met his soulmate, Nina. After their Wine Country wedding, they chose to live in Reno and Mike switched careers to Logistics, Warehouse and Safety Management. He successfully operated facilities for many well-known companies. His greatest career accomplishment is and was mentoring his employees, many who were promoted into upper management positions.

Mike, Nina, and son Torin, moved to their dream home in Cold Springs, where he coached youth soccer and baseball teams for years. He is the neighborhood Pet Protector, helping lost or abandoned animals, nurturing birds with many houses and feeders, and neighbors who need a pet sitter in advance or in a hurry. Mike adores his three poodles, Sammy (Hagar), Cooper (Mini) and Belle (The Beauty). Hobbies include golf, exploring the hills by ATV and rock concerts.

Mike is excited to be a part of this fantastic team opening the SPCA-NN’s new Thrift Store on Moana Lane! His goal is providing great customer service, build a thriving community hub, and keeping everyone safe during and after Covid.
