Michael Bohnenstingl

Interactive Media Specialist

“Everything will be okay in the end. If it’s not okay, it’s not the end.” — John Lennon

Born and raised in Brainerd, Minnesota, Michael grew up immersed in hospitality. With a dad working at Grand View Lodge and a mom at Madden’s, resort life was part of his everyday world — including being dropped off at golf courses, which wasn’t a bad way to grow up.

Michael studied video production, photography, graphic design, and marketing at NDSU and Saint Paul College. He’s deeply passionate about social media and content creation and thrives on building creative, engaging stories — especially for a company that truly values marketing and understands its impact.

He lives in Plymouth with his wife, Emma, their dog Bogey, and cat Kiekko. Outside of work, Michael enjoys golfing, exploring new breweries, traveling whenever possible, and spending time outdoors with his family.
