This makes him American by birth, but there is no information of his ethnicity. He is the son of Ronald L. Dodge who used to work in the Marine. It seems he finds it necessary to talk about his father only as he was the one who influenced the kind of life he has today.

For this reason, there is no information of his mother or even siblings if he has any. He was raised by his grandparents and as a small boy, they used to go for adventures into the natural forest. This is the reason why he is very much in love with the forest to date.

Education

It would be normal to assume that this man who is so sensational about the forest didn’t see the inside of a class. However, that is not true at all. He attended Kubasaki High School which is located in Okinawa, Japan. His father’s occupation as a Marine made it possible for Mick to travel and get exposure to different parts of the world.

He loved what his fathers did and therefore, after graduating from high school, he didn’t join any college but went straight to join US Marines. He served them for six good years then decided to live a normal life and this is where he found a job in an auto repair shop.

Personal Life: Dating, Girlfriends, Wife, Kids

After working in the auto repair shop for some time, he got bored with living a normal life and this is where the “barefoot Sensei” started. It is not clear whether he also decided to remain single for all his life or he has decided to keep his personal life away from the public, but he is assumed to be single to date. Since he decided to live an exceptional lifestyle it might also be that he didn’t find a woman who was courageous enough to stand the kind of life he lives today.

  1. I wish I had the guts to do what he’s done. Where did he do his basic training as a Marine? My dad was also a Marine and he was about his age. I just wonder if maybe he knew him. His name was Orville Sinkhorn, nickname Poodle.

  2. I enjoyed watching the Ledgend of Mick Dodge. It’s too bad it couldn’t continue. I always thought I’d like to visit the Hoh Forest and spend the day with him. Take care, Mick ?
