Since he first picked up a guitar at the age of 8, Mike has found himself performing professionally since the age of 16. After many years of playing clubs in and around the United States, and acquiring two degrees in music he was set on his way to carve out a full time future in music.

He can usually be found in the studio as a first call session guitarist and back up vocalist for many artists. His abilities have been called upon by the ranks of such artists as Grammy Award Winner Jim Peterik, Dennis DeYoung, Brian Wilson, Kelly Keagy (Night Ranger), Lisa McCLowry, and Jimi Jamison (Formerly of Survivor) just to name a few. He’s also a favorite of many artists and jingle producers from L.A. to Nashville, and Chicago to New York.

Besides laying down tracks in the studio Mike can be seen cranking out live with Jim Peterik and World Stage, Pride Of Lions, Cornerstones Of Rock, Grammy nominated Dan Navarro, Junkyard Groove, Lisa McClowry’s The Beat Goes On (Cher Tribute), One Of These Nights (Eagles Tribute), and OMT.

He has also been called upon to back artists such as Steve Cropper, James Burton and members of The Wrecking Crew, John Waite, Joey Molland (Badfinger), Alex Ligertwood (Formerly of Santana), Johnny Van Zant (Lynyrd Skynyrd), Mark Farner (formerly of Grand Funk Railroad), Dave Bickler and Jimi Jaimison (both formerly of Survivor), Mike Reno (Loverboy), Keith Burns (Trick Pony), Rik Emmet (Triumph), Don Barnes (38 Special), Kelly Keagy (Night Ranger), Danny Seraphine and Bill Champlin (formerly of Chicago), Felix Cavalire (The Rascals), and many many more...seriously the list is too long to mention.
