Mike dabbled in film for ten years, directing numerous shorts, documentaries, music videos and a feature film (No Exit which starred Vincent Pastore of The Sopranos) as well as writing screenplays that sat in the oft lauded development hell. Mike decided to follow his bliss and write the novel that has stalked him like a clown on mushrooms for years. Having always looked at the world through cracked and rose-colored Groucho glasses, he heeded to call to humor.

An avid reader and self-confessed Seeker, Mike is fascinated with mysticism, ancient wisdom, meta and quantum physics, yoga, extraterrestrial life, dream theory and most importantly, music - especially Rock Music. He feels Rock has helped mold both his political cynicism and anti-violence philosophy as well as his child-like sense of wonder and love of what is rather cool about the Cosmos.

He lives quite contently in the NYC apartment owned by his two cats Thumper and Nana with his wife and soulmate, Suzy.
