Neil Friske, born in Petoskey and raised near Charlevoix on the family farm, Friske Orchards, is a respected life-long resident of Northern Michigan. He graduated from Ellsworth High School and spent two-thirds of his life working on and running the family farm. For over a decade, Neil and his brother, Richard Jr., were second-generation partners in the family operation.
Currently, Neil owns and operates Friske & Sons Property Management in Charlevoix. When he’s not hard at work, he spends as much time as possible with family. He has four grown sons and is a delighted Opa of three beautiful grandchildren.
Truly great leaders lead with prayerful wisdom and humility, with a servant’s heart, with a listening ear, with transparency and dedication to those they are serving, with a formidable work ethic, and with an unrelenting conviction to uphold all people’s rights and freedoms. I will be such a leader – for you, for your families, for this beautiful state.
Together, we can put ourselves first – our children, our schools, our communities, our elderly, our veterans, our livelihoods. Together, we can be a voice for the voiceless – upholding the sanctity of life. Together, we can hold the line – against government overreach, against Big Corporation and Big Tech monopolies, against the loss of any and all freedoms. Together, we can make a difference – for our families, for our future, for our state, for everyone. Together, we can dream new dreams – and make them a reality. Together, by God’s grace, we can lead – boldly and relentlessly, with wisdom and conviction, with grace and humility.
