Mike was born and raised on a farm in small town rural Saskatchewan. His dream was to become a fighter pilot in the armed forces, but he was bitten by the acting bug late in his grade twelve year of high school. By order of chance, he signed with an agent and within a few month's began booking gigs on a regular basis.Mike took a year off of acting in 2005 and attended film school at The Los Angeles Film School in Hollywood. Upon completion of his course, Mike returned home to continue his acting career. He takes the knowledge that he learned in film school, couples it with his constant desire to learn and what he has learned in the past, and you find that Mike has a great knowledge of his craft. Mike lives back and forth from LA and Vancouver, continuing to hone his craft. He hopes to one day begin writing and directing his own films, but for now his heart's desire is to be acting.
