Mike was born and raised in Connecticut before settling in San Diego, California in 1998. He began writing music in the mid 90's as he was traveling throughout the US as a Computer Programmer/Analyst - Consultant. During this time, Mike also taught himself how to play guitar.

After Mike settled on the West Coast, he started performing at local coffee houses and open mics a few times a month beginning in August, 2005. He now performs at many of San Diego's premier wineries, resorts, restaurants, and lounges. Mike can also be hired to play private and corporate events.

His sound has been described as that of Jack Johnson’s laid back soothing style, but if you ask him he'll say "I really have no idea. I've been influenced by so many different artists. I can't put my finger on it. You tell me! I'm just having fun." Let's just say a little surf / meets folk / meets rock / meets pop.

Mike's first album 'Keep On' was released in 2006. After a few years of performing and promoting his first project, he released his second album 'Enjoy the Journey' in 2009. After an 8 year absence of writing, Mike's 3rd album 'Good Morning Afternoon' was released in October, 2017. Mike’s original music is based on his personal life and experiences. He has noted “I’m not concerned about my original music becoming well known or popular. These projects were simply something I needed to pursue for my own enjoyment”.

For the time being, Mike has decided to focus more on covering the music he loves. His live performances consist mainly of these tunes spanning 9 decades. There is no denying how much fun he has when he’s performing live.
