My name is Mike Musto, and I live at 16449 South Boone Rd.  I have lived in the Cleveland and Lorain areas all my life. In 1999 my family moved to Columbia Township. 

I have been married for 36 years to a wonderful woman.  We have two children and three very special grandchildren.

My wife was involved in horses when I started dating her. When we decided to get married, I promised her a farm in Columbia Township. We worked for many years and in 1995 we were very fortunate to find the property on South Boone. Our home was built in 1999 and our horse facilities were completed in 2001.

We continue to enjoy our time on the farm and our life in Columbia. It is important to us to preserve “Columbia’s Charm” and its rural atmosphere.  My wife and I talked about this goal and we felt the best way to achieve that vision was to become a Trustee. I hope the community will grow with this goal in mind.
