Dr. Milan Gorišek se je rodil v meščanski družini 1. septembra 1878 v Celju. Bil je
poročen s hčerko slovenskega deželnega poslanca Franja Robiča iz Limbuša. Pravo je
študiral v Pragi, kjer je leta 1902 tudi promoviral. Poklicno pot je začel v Mariboru, a
je kmalu odšel v Lenart, kjer je ostal vse do aprilske okupacije Jugoslavije leta 1941. V
Lenart je prinesel mnoge napredne ideje in se je nenehno zavzemal za krepitev slovenstva
ter za slovenski značaj trga. Bil je med vodilnimi sokolskimi delavci pri Lenartu
in pomemben funkcionar mariborske sokolske župe. Nekaj časa je bil tudi lenarški
župan in je skrbel za gospodarski napredek trga in okolice. Vidno vlogo je odigral v
prevratnih letih 1918/1919, ko je generalu Maistru in njegovi slovenski vojski pomagal
z živežem in predvsem z denarjem iz lenarške hranilnice.1 V Lenartu je ostal vse do
aprilske okupacije Jugoslavije leta 1941.
