Backyard Makeovers Since 1993
Mike Deak Ah, shoot. (See what we did there?) LAKElife photographer and family guy Mike Deak has spent the last 18 years in sports journalism and doubling as a photographer for as long. He’s proficient in more than 30 unique sports covered in that time— from youth leagues to professional baseball, basketball, BMX and others. Mike also shoots pics for area visitors’ bureaus in and around Kosciusko County, in addition to working with national touring bands, photographing concerts all over the state. Also the sports editor for InkFreeNews in Warsaw, Mike oversees all sports operations for the website as well as The Mail-Journal, 'the PAPERS' in Kosciusko County, and 'the PAPERS' in Elkhart County. When work is set aside, Mike enjoys his time with his beautiful wife, two (adorable!) daughters, and visits several area lakes with family and friends.
