Jodi Faeth’s Husband, Mike Wolfe

Now that we have covered all there is in the media about Jodi, let’s share some information about her husband, Mike Wolfe; for instance, how he got into the antique business and how he has managed to succeed. Mike Wolfe was born on the 11th June 1964, in Joliet, Illinois USA, the son of Rita Wolfe, who raised him and his brother and sister by herself. From an early age, Mike was searching ‘things’, and during one of his searches, Mike found an old bicycle in his neighbor’s barn, and bought it for just $50 dollars. After detailed cleaning and restoration, Mike was able to sell the bike for $5,000. Pretty impressive earning for a child, don’t you think? Encouraged by this accomplishment, Mike continued his search for rusty gold, as he now calls his findings.

Career Beginnings

Over the years, Mike switched from ‘picking’ to professional bicycle racing, and pursued this as his career. However, he realized that picking pays more, and decided to resume that career, traveling across the US searching for people who like to collect various things but are willing to sell them later. He focused on street signs, old bikes, motors, and other antiquities which could bring a profit. After a while, he established his own store, Antique Archaeology, located in Le Claire, Iowa, and from then on, Mike’s career has only gone upwards, with the help of Frank Fritz, another picker, and his high school friend, Danielle Colby, who has helped him find locations full of ‘rusty gold’. Mike then started writing a concept for the TV show, which became “American Pickers”.

“American Pickers”

The show premiered on the 18th January 2010 on the History Channel, and reached over three million viewers, making it the highest rated History channel debut after the “Ice Road Truckers” 3.4 million. Since the premiere, Mike has become a star, and his business has expanded considerably. He is now filming the 19th season of the highly-appraised series, during which he and Frank will search for items in eastern Oklahoma.
