Mike's life journey began in the vast expanse of Montana, where his formative years were shaped by the rugged natural beauty of the state. His childhood was subsequently influenced by the unique cultural landscape of Alaska, where he spent time before relocating to Virginia, a state that would play a significant role in his future development.
Following his service as an infantryman in the first Gulf War, Mike discovered his passion for the performing arts, which led him to take to the stage as an actor. This early foray into the world of acting eventually gave way to a new creative pursuit - drumming for a touring rock band. For more than a decade, Mike traveled the world, honing his skills as a musician and experiencing the thrill of performing live in front of diverse audiences.
After a long and fulfilling stint as a touring musician, Mike made the decision to return to his roots in acting, this time focusing on television and film. As he continues to pursue his passion for the performing arts, Mike is simultaneously working towards earning his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Theatre from Virginia Commonwealth University, a testament to his dedication to his craft and his commitment to ongoing artistic growth and development.
