As son of FFS founders Tony and Betty Argiros, Mike has been part of "The Family" and The Family Foundation School for most of his life. He has served as president and CEO since 2001.

He is also active in the community, serving on the board of the Hancock Partners. Mike and his wife Cindy enjoy country living in rural Hancock raising six children, a dog, cat, and chickens.

Rita assumed her administrative duties at The Family Foundation School in 2000 when her parents, Tony and Betty Argiros, founders of the school, retired. Prior to that, she was associate professor of sociology at St. Cloud State University where her areas of expertise included research methods and statistics, social inequality, and social problems. Rita continues to teach college-level courses in sociology and statistics at FFS. She also leads the school's Venture Crew which incorporates dog training, another area of expertise. She is the current president of Eagle Valley Search Dogs, and she and her husband, Sid Parham, share their home with search dogs Ripley and Raven.

Jeff wears many hats at The Family Foundation School: therapist, Director of Admissions, and Vice President for External Relations. He joined FFS in 2004 as therapist and took on the external relations work in 2005. The industry's growing recognition and respect for FFS over the past few years is largely due to Jeff's ongoing efforts to promote the school to consultants, educators, and counselors at numerous meetings and conferences throughout the year. When Jeff's not in the office or on the road, he can be found enjoying the great outdoors with his wife Debbie and their dogs, Jack and Jake.
