A lifelong fascination with people and what makes them tick began early for Mike. Living in Japan as a young boy and then Italy later, as well as in many different states as a military brat, fueled his desire for understanding different cultures and people. As an artistic soul, his passion for photography and film naturally developed into a career that satisfies his curiosity of the human condition. Mike’s love of people is evident in his work and shines through in his working relationships with clients and crew. Mike’s current favorite show is Chef’s table. Beautiful food, beautifully filmed is a great combination for him. Mike loves to cook and you will likely find him at any given point, manning the grill.
