He then went on to meet Lance Hendrickson through Ben and the rest is history.

His current work as a sound designer includes several short independent films and the feature film Summer School. He also is a dialogue editor for the Food Network show "Diners Drive Ins and Dives." Besides making films, Mike enjoys watching talking and drinking films (especially of the 70's), shooting guns, chilling with his girlfriend, listening to 50's and 60's Rock 'n Roll, cruising, graphic design, and of course a good glass of scotch and a smoke.
