Whether it's been entertaining onstage or on the football field, this class clown has always loved the spotlight. Hassled by nearly every teacher since kindergarten for his classroom distractions, Mike spent most of his time in detention. He grew up impersonating his favorite childhood comedian, Adam Sandler for friends, family, detention supervisors. He started doing stand-up in 9th grade. His history teacher challenged him to try it in front of the class. He was always funny from the back of the room, but coming to the front of class and doing stand-up was completely different. He was later voted Most Likely to Host SNL by his high school senior class. Torn between his passion for winning the classroom over with laughter and his love for the game of football, he decided to pursue both after beginning to play football at the age of 8. In the fall of 2006, Mike walked onto the Missouri Tigers Football Team. He didn't make it onto the field in a real game at Mizzou, but he did enjoy all the free Gatorade on the sidelines. After a career ending injury, Mike pursued comedy and business full-time. He moved to Los Angeles, and while perfecting his comedy craft, he helped a friend build a start-up from the ground floor as its first full-time operational employee. The company flourished into becoming a multi-million dollar company that sold to Accenture in 2015. He has been crowned the two-time champion of Mid-Missouri's Last Comic Standing Competition, and he was a member 2008 Cotton Bowl Championship Football Team. He has performed all over the world at weddings, comedy clubs, corporate events, including LA, Chicago, Tokyo, London, and Amsterdam. He currently lives in New York City.
