Over 35+ years in sports broadcasting, Mike has worked on Olympics, Stanley Cup Finals, NCAA Final Fours, MLS and WUSA Championship games, Indy 500’s, Daytona 500’s, the Monaco Grand Prix, Men’s and Women’s Soccer World Cups and a litany of events, large and small, all over the world.

Mike has spent the past 27 seasons producing and directing NHL games.  He worked for ESPN, OLN, FOX, the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Phoenix Coyotes, the Carolina Hurricanes and the St. Louis Blues.  

Music plays a big part in Mike’s life and career as well.  In 2015 he directed at the Life is Beautiful festival, and since March of 2020, has directed many live streams of artists like Keller Williams, Galactic, the Wood Brothers and others.

When Mike is not working he can be found hanging out with his wife, Susan, and 2 daughters, Chloe and Stella, or listening to the Grateful Dead.
