Mike’s childhood was far from an ordinary one. His home was surrounded by vast, quiet fields and mysterious forests in the rural Midwest. Far away from kids his age, he spiced things up by creating and voicing characters from his surroundings. From the family dog and various woodland creatures to toys and objects around the house, he created characters and conversed with them to help quiet his busy mind.

Fast forward to current day and Mike’s still at it in the professional realm. He trains with the likes of Richard Horvitz, Melanie Chartoff, Crispin Freeman, the fine people at the Groundlings, and more. Mike plans to take the animation and video game industries by storm with his youthful voice and voracious hunger for playing pretend.

He keeps up with contemporary animation from around the world and his passion extends to writing, as well. Ask him about it sometime and we guarantee you’ll be talking for hours, whether you like it or not!
