Mike grew up in S.W. Washington and attended college at Western Washington University as a Journalism Major. Spent time chasing music, his life's true passion over five decades and has interviewed Rick Nelson, Commander Cody, Norton Buffalo, David Bromberg, Jimmy Buffett, and Chuck Leavell. Mike also spent time behind the board as a D.J. for a short stint in early 70's. To date he has written The Manana Method, a humorously engaging self-published novel revolving around a two-month, 9,000-mile trip throughout Mexico in 1980. He has recently re-released it in a second edition which is available online through Barnes & Noble and Noble and, now retired, plans to promote more aggressively through other channels.
