Autorenporträt
Michael Wenzel is a life long resident of the city of Milwaukee and a 1967 graduate of Boy's Technical High School. Wenzel received a Bachelor's of Science degree from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee in 1971. The degree saw an emphasis in Physical Education and Recreation. Wenzel was awarded the Southside Lions Club Alumni Award in 1967 for meritorious service to Boy's Technical High School, which acted as a steppingstone to a career in teaching. The Optimist Club of Milwaukee awarded the Optimist of the Year Award to Mr. Wenzel in 1987. This award highlights extra time and effort working with boys and girls of all ages. In 2004, the Wisconsin Senate, on the motion of State Senator Tim Carpenter, presented Wenzel a citation commending him for his outstanding career working, coaching, and teaching the children of Wisconsin upon this occasion of his retirement. The Wisconsin Senate offered their thanks for outstanding effort on behalf of Wisconsin kids. Michael Wenzel continues to see his career choice move forward in the work of his son, Marcus, who is teaching Health and Physical Education at Bay View High School, which is also a Milwaukee Public School. Michael Wenzel has spent five decades totally involved in some capacity with the Milwaukee Public Schools. Wenzel intends to continue providing service to the school system and the children of the Milwaukee Public Schools.
