About Mike

Mike Diegelmann is a member of the MRIS Product Management Department, currently assigned as the Compliance Department and Web Settlement Xpress Product Manager. Mike has also served in other roles at MRIS as a Technical Support Representative and as the Senior Public Records Data Collector. Mike draws from previous experiences as a former realtor and certified real estate legal assistant. Mike is an avid Washington Redskins football fan and a family man who also enjoys playing with the family dog adopted from the local Humane Society.

What three things could Mike not live without? Coffee, Washington Redskins football (One might say that I am a masochist, and like Charlie Brown, I am still waiting for the Great Pumpkin to appear. As we Skins fans say, “There is always next year!”), and Spell Check (to counter balance my dyslectic tendencies for reversing letters).

What is Mike’s favorite saying or quotation? From the movie “The Outlaw Jose Wales”, during the early part of the Civil War, the Indian Chief (reflecting on advice given by the government to the oppressed Indian nation) said, "We thought about it for a long time, 'Endeavor to persevere.' And when we had thought about it long enough, we declared war on the Union."
