Milan got his Master's Degree from UW Superior. He worked as a teacher and later guidance counselor first in Cumberland and then in Barron. He was a mentor not only at work but also to his family.

Milan was an avid fisherman, hunter, and was a proud gardener. He never passed a lake or pond that he had not fished or wanted to. Milan enjoyed working on his hobby farm. He loved being a father, grandfather, and he went to as many of their games that he could.
