Who is Mike?

Passion is everything in life

"The strongest motivation for running a business, are the customers

that inspire me daily" Migo  

Mike "Migo" Tarikyan immigrated from Turkey in the early 80's with his brand new wife Isabelle, looking to venture and explore a new life and a dream.

After a few years, Mike was given the opportunity to work as an apprentice upholsterer for a local  shop near his home in Cliffside Park, NJ.

​

From the moment he walked in as an apprentice, there was no doubt in his mind that he had finally found his "home".

He was a natural.

​

Mike's Custom Upholstery came to life in 1987.

​

With only 2 employees, Mike slowly began to build a steady and loyal clientele and, through word of mouth, his business started flourishing and prosper.

​

Mike came to understand that his work was not just about providing a service, but , mostly, working with an attitude that reflected the genuine interest in his clients and the love for his work.

A principle that was passed on from his father and that defined the future.

​

Today, after 23 years, Mike's legacy and dream lives though his wife Isabelle, who  continues his passion, hard work and visions.
