Mike Takes On The World!

Shut up and make my eggs if you love me!

About Me


Hello. Welcome to my page. Um, my name is Mike. I could say a lot, but why? If you're here, you must know me already. I've spent most of the year traveling across the planet, from Russia to Maui. I was working for Royal Caribbean cruise line. I've enjoyed every minute of it.
I'm currently an Audio Engineer. I work freelance concert production in the Seattle and Washington Area. Spend most of my time either at the T-Dome, Everett Events Center, Moore Theatre, and the George & White River in the summer. I basically hook up, and fly very large speakers, that have a microphone pluged in to them. In simple terms.... It's a lot of fun, and I meet a bunch of very odd people, and I get paid to sit at a lot of concerts.
I'm also working for a band called Dating Delilah. The guys are awesome to work with, and off to a great start. Check them out if you can. We've got a ton of shows coming up for the summer.Next month I'm on my way to New York to go work for the summer. It's going to be fun, and what better place to spend the 4th of July?!?!

My Interests

The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.
