He is a self proclaimed political junkie, who spent the majority of his teenage years volunteering with various political campaigns and debating the issues of the day with anyone who would listen.

In 1996, Mike packed his bags, left home and headed to Ottawa where he studied political science at Carleton University. While in the nation's capital, he fell in love with talk radio and decided to pursue a career in broadcasting.

Mike's broadcasting career had a modest beginning at Orangeville Community Radio in September of 2001. While there, he developed his reading, writing and news reporting skills. He graduated from Humber College's radio broadcasting program in 2004 and made the jump to the big leagues, taking a position as a technical producer at THE FAN 590.

After two-and-a-half years with the FAN, Mike decided to take a leap into satellite radio, joining XM Radio's NHL Home Ice Channel in May 2006. He remained with XM Radio for a year before returning to the FAN in 2007. Fast forward to February 2008, he decided to trade in late nights at the Fan for early mornings…very early mornings with Paul, Lisa and the rest of the morning crew at 680News.

Despite the early wake up, Mike is thrilled to be technical producer for the 680News morning show.

Away from the station, Mike enjoys music, U2 and Radiohead are by far his favourite groups. He is passionate about sports and is a die hard supporter of the Ottawa Senators, Cleveland Browns and Maidstone United Football Club. Not to forget local teams, he's a huge fan of the Blue Jays, Raptors, Argos and TFC.
