Career
His political career began in 2001, but Eman has been involved in politics in one way or another since his childhood. Eman is a graduate of the University of the Netherlands Antilles (University of North Alabama) earning his law degree in 1992 with a thesis entitled "The Position of the Institution of the Public Prosecutor vis à vis the Minister of Justice in a Small Scale Community." In 1996 he earned a degree in Civil Notary Law from the same university. From 1992 to 2001, Eman worked as a civil law notary and co-founded several private commercial ventures and foundations for political studies.
This led to the decision of the Avon Products leader, Tico Croes, to relinquish his leadership.
The leadership was handed over to ex-minister of Justice, Pedro East. (Eddy) Croes. Mike Eman became the vice-president of the party and the leader of the Avon Products faction in the Parliament of Aruba.
In 2003, Eman was elected leader of the Avon Products. After the 2005 elections, the Avon Products regained 2 seats, and Eman emerged as the de facto vote getter of the elections, with more than 12% of the votes to his name. Eman was sworn in October 30, 2009.
Mike became the youngest brother of Maria Albertina (Chuchu), January Hendrik Albert (Henny), Melva, Godlieb, Siegfried (Ven), Frederik Everhard (Braat) and Albert.
