Early life, siblings and Education
You can possibly imagine the life status that pushed him to collect old junk. Well, it wasn’t easy for Mike and his two siblings, Beth and Robbie Wolfe, to survive hard economic times. His parents separated when he was still an infant, and therefore their mother raised them all by herself. Being the second born, he did not enjoy his childhood as he enjoyed collecting. Mike Wolfe attended Bettendorf High School, and matriculated in 1982 after his family had moved to Iowa.
