“We’re all too sane.  We’re all too serious.  We’re all too worried.  So I like to come and sprinkle some insanity through your lives and in your minds so that when you leave here you know that crazy is good.”

-Lord Buckley

About Mike:

Mike began as an actor/comedian when he was four years old, staging productions on his Aunt Connie’s back porch. Since then he has performed in theme parks, theatres, comedy clubs, festivals, and circuses around the country. He has also appeared on television, films, commercials, the web, and video games. If there is a medium to perform on, chances are, he has.

For as long as he can remember Mike has been in love with cartoons, and thanks to a misspent youth has an encyclopedic knowledge of all things animation related. Now this self-proclaimed "cartoon guru," makes a career of creating new animated characters for the world.

Mike currently lives in Venice Beach, California, with his beautiful and talented wife Bailee DesRocher, where he is a notorious beach bum who enjoys a good sail as much as just lounging on the sand. He has a nearly obsessive fascination with pirates—and did long before Johnny Depp made it cool or Somalia made it uncool—and every year with friends he celebrates Pirate Day, a holiday of his own invention.

When not on the beach, Mike is an avid naturalist, and can be found hiking, rock climbing, or exploring any place there's an adventure to be found. He is also a runner, and can also be found training for a marathon from time to time or as a theme park junkie may just be found riding roller coasters.

Also, having spent several years as a dog trainer and animal behaviorist, Mike spends some of his spare time volunteering his training skills with dog rescues and adoption agencies teaching dogs basic manners to hopefully make them more adoptable.
