Mike was born into a family owned construction business in Allentown, Pennsylvania in 1978.  He found his love of animation in the stick-figure flip-books he would make out of his father's post-it notes.  The animations normally featured people running for their lives or just plain silly war scenes.  he began filming and photographing extreme sports such as Freestyle BMX and Snowboarding during High School.  There he created an animated title sequence for a BMX video project that rivaled all projects from other classmates.  In 2001 he graduated from Emerson College in Boston Massachusetts where he studied Film Production and Animation.  This would be his first experience using clay and other mediums to create with.  Since then he has been living in Los Angeles, California working within the entertainment industry and working on his craft.  He hopes to develop and create new animated content for television, film and the web.
