About Me

My name is Mike and i'm 22 years old from Wyoming. I work at a newspaper where i'm a journalist. I also do some other positions at the paper including, cartoonist, copy editor, and photographer. I write novels, short stories and poetry in my spare time. I also paint and draw and hold art shows and make comic books. I play keyboard and like to say I compose my own music, but I mainly just like to hear funky sounds. I love to fish and go to the mountains with my nature gal(sammy). I dislike lawn gnomes and things that go squeak. I have the most amazing woman on the planet that i love with all my heart. Anything else u wanna know, just ask.
