Mike started performing as part of the youth sketch comedy troupe, Kid-Skits in Denver, CO before the age of 10. He explored improv, directing plays, and writing - but truly found his passion of working with actors when he was just a teenager. He eventually stepped behind the camera as a director in 2007, honing his skills for shaping and creating narratives working with actors on camera, as well as crew to pull off the feat.
He attended the Metropolitan State College of Denver, and then completed a video/film degree at the Art Institute of Seattle. In 2009, Mike was instrumental in establishing the Seattle based cooperative film group, Team Awesome Seattle.
Through Team Awesome Seattle, he grew as a filmmaker, directing dozens of short films, music videos, and commercials.

Mike's excitement in creating stunning visuals and complex narratives, drives engagement and visibility surrounding a project, no matter the industry.
Whether it's crafting an ad project or finding the right way to tell a brand story cinematically, Mike's unique approach to the world around him brings a breath of fresh air to every task throughout the process.
Mike has worked with some of the most significant video game publishers, including Warner Bros.

Mike loves to create content inclusive of all and volunteers with Colorado's Women in Film Chapter (WIFMCO) to establish and promote an anti-harassment culture in our state's thriving film industry. He helped establish Colorado UP (bit.ly/ColoradoUP) which promotes and encourages zero harassment film sets and beyond, with a focus on respectful treatment of all persons involved. He has studied gender in cinema, and tends to make content that is respectful, non-objectifying and non-derogatory.
