“Mike” was born July 22nd 1966 to Theresa McCormac and Michael Finley McCormac. A native of San Francisco, Mike attended St. Cecilia School before heading to Marin County to attend Marin Catholic High School, where he discovered a love for playing rugby and football. At Marin Catholic, he helped lead the Wildcats to the 1983 MCAL Football Championsh­ip.

Profession­ally, Mike followed in his father’s footsteps, going into commercial real estate brokerage at companies such as Hines, Prometheus, Glenboroug­h, and Kidder Mathews. Mike enjoyed real estate and was always eager to further his knowledge about the Bay Area market as well as educate perspectiv­e clients, tenants, families, and friends.

His passions included golf, music, biking, supporting the 49ers, Warriors, and Giants, and his family. Mike was his happiest self when he was spending time with family and friends, whether he was in Lake Tahoe, Santa Cruz, or the Bay.

Mike was a passionate person who would excitedly speak about or debate subjects he loved. He was fascinated with San Francisco’s history and was very proud to be a San Francisco native. While living in the Haight in his late 20’s, Mike met Suzanne Koumantzel­is and the two fell in love. They would eventually marry and Mike was given the best gifts of his life with the birth of his daughter Chloe Eliza and later his son Ian Finley.
