Mike started working Summer Stock when he was 15 and has been an actor, writer, director and designer ever since. Prior to his current focus on acting in TV, film, commercials and theater, he was a leading Creative Director for Experiential Marketing Agencies as the creator/writer/director of some of the largest events and high profile videos for Fortune 100 clients. This gave him experience on sets and stages in the USA and abroad while working with media celebrities, senior executives, factory workers and political figures — including Senators, Mayors, Cabinet Members, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Presidents and Vice-Presidents. As an actor onstage and on-screen, he has played leading and character roles in comedies and serious dramas ranging from Second City to Shakespeare.
