About Us

H₂0tto Consulting is owned by Mike Otto.
    Mike's office is located in Lindsay, Texas, which is approximately 65 miles north of the Dallas, Fort Worth metro area and 5 miles south of the Red River that separates Texas and Oklahoma.
     The office is open from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm Monday through Friday.
     He was born in Wichita Falls, Texas in 1952 and officially released from High School in May 1970. He is a family man with a wonderful wife, two daughters, a son, a son-in-law, and a beautiful new granddaughter.
     Mike cut his teeth on equipment working for a golf course construction company. He started his own business in 1979 with one dozer. Mike currently owns several pieces of equipment that he uses on a variety of earthmoving jobs.
      He began by doing mainly livestock ponds for farmers and ranchers in the north Texas area around Montague and Cooke counties. Mike still digs some livestock watering holes, but for the past few years has concentrated on recreational lakes.


   With 30+ years of experience under his belt, Mike now spends many of his days consulting with customers about building, expanding, cleaning, maintaining, and improving their ponds, lakes and property.
He can assist you in creating the lake or pond of your dreams, whether it is for livestock, fishing, boating, swimming, wildlife or just plain beauty.
In 1990 Mike met the "Pond Boss", Bob Lusk. Bob is a well-known marine biology expert, and he and Mike co-own a magazine appropriately called Pond Boss.  These two gentlemen enjoy working together to plan and create incredible bodies of water that are the envy of all the neighbors.
     Because of the miracle of spell check, Mike has been able to write articles titled "Down To Earth" for Pond Boss.(Check out his current Pond Boss article on this web page.)

Our new head of office is Emily Copeland. She just graduated from Lindsay High School. She keeps Mike in line real well and could be the best thing that has ever come through H2Otto.
