About Me

I am in love with a beautiful woman named Crystal. She is amazing and she actually loves me back - awesome. And that's even after she met Johnny Knoxville in person - so you know what that means - right...right?!I am a film producer - I have a few films about to go to festival and will soon be devising a plan to take over the world with only a toothpick and love.I have size 16 feet - no joke. My friend Josh calls it "Big D*** Size", which I always found slightly offensive to everyone else, but strangely flattering to me.I have an amazing family in Florida - two parents, sister complete with bro-in-law, two grandparents, three uncles and aunts, 5 cousins, family dog, and a partridge (not in a pear tree - the tree blew away during Hurricane Charley).I grew up in a family that was abnormally obsessed with Disney and Mickey Mouse. It has stayed with me and to this day I find myself waking up in cold sweats screaming "WHO'S THE LEADER OF THE CLUB THAT'S MADE FOR YOU AND ME?!!"I live with a Bratalian (Brazilian/Italian) film director named Vitor (seriously). He is my best friend and collaborator. He has a love for Italian sausage and Spaghetti...westerns.I work at a post facility called Modern Videofilm in Burbank, CA where I online edit major network television shows; and I love my work. I work with some of the coolest, most talented and nicest, most genuine people in the industry.I absolutely love entertainment - movies, music, stage shows, etc. I love going to concerts (saw Fall Out boy and +44 recently, also John Williams at the Hollywood Bowl, going to Incubus, Warped Tour) and movies (at Graumann's Chinese Theater, El Capitan, Arclight - you know how we do in Hollywood!) I also like just getting out - my girlfriend and I will be at Disneyland - going to Comic-Con, X Games...and clubs and bars are fun too :-)I just love life and love to live it with the people I love. I can't wait to make that next amazing film and hear that next amazing song. I can't wait until we as people realize that we are all just people, we all have the ability to get along with one another, and if we want to stop a problem the best thing to do is to focus our energy towards the positive. In other words, let's not attend Anti-war rallies, let's attend Peace rallies.Thanks for reading this schtick. Hit me up if you wanna chat...MIKEY

My Interests

Movies! (I'm a Producer; so there ya go) I HEART music...majorly. And ALL genres of music. I like some sports...I just don't get to play often enough cause I'm working on movies or TV shows. I love the supernatural and religion. I eat it up with a spoon. I like studying business and also networking/talking to people, etc.

I'd like to meet:

I would love to meet Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Robert Zemeckis, Tom Hanks and so many others that I look up to. However, if I could meet anybody, dead or alive, I think the ultimate trip would to be present when the Constitution was signed in 1776 and to meet the various founding fathers of our country - maybe take a few pics with them for MySpace. Also Abe Lincoln - I would love to sit down and have a conversation with him - Dale Carnegie, and so many others.

Music:

So I had no idea there was an original version and an official version to Everything to Everyone by Everclear until I found it on YouTube one day. I've always loved the official vesion, but after seeing the original, why in the world was it changed?

Movies:

Top 7 (there are really too many to count)1. Forrest Gump 2. Indiana Jones (all 3) 3. Tommy Boy 4. Home Alone 1 & 2 5. Singin In the Rain 6. Back to the Future (all 3) 7. Lord of the Rings (all 3)

Television:

I am an online editor, and part of the amazing post production team at Modern Videofilm that works on the following shows: And I don't work on this one, but it's just great...

Books:

Anything my girlfriend would read - haha. Dale Carnegie's writings have had quite an impact on my life. I've been into non-fiction a lot lately; just trying to get my skills in order. Hopefully, I'll get back into fiction reading very soon. Also - magazines - oh yeah - Daily Variety, Maxim, Wired, GQ, Esquire, Newsweek, Forbes, MacWorld, Post, American Cinematographer, Modern Drummer.

Heroes:

Dad, Mom, Grandpa and Grandma, Nanny and Papa, Tonya, Aaron, Amanda, Chris and Justin, Darol and Moon, Wayne and Bonnie, Lester and Linda; and of course Crystal.
