Mike

PROFESSIONALLY: I have been a producer/director of commercials, music videos, television programs, documentaries and training films for (yikes) 25 years now. It has allowed me to film in every state but Alaska and every continent but Africa.PERSONALLY: I have many friends, but family ALWAYS comes first. I have a great wife who is working on getting her book published, and two awesome daughters who are incredibly active. I cherish every moment I get to spend with them...I have coached basketball for the past twelve years and enjoyed every minute. It has been a great way to spend time with my daughters...I am close to my brothers, sister, and cousins and their children, and despite the many international trips I have taken, some of my favorite memories are spending week long camping trips with the whole family. I absolutely HATE all of the negative advertising during elections. It makes me question the capabilities of any candidate when all they can discuss in commercials is what their opponent CANNOT do. My favorite book is "To Kill A Mockingbird" because it is still the best story about growing up I've ever come across. My favorite city in the world is Rome, because there is art, architecture or history any direction you look. My favorite movies are probably too numerous to mention, but if I had to pick just one comedy, I would say "Monty Python and The Holy Grail", and if I could pick just one drama it would be "The Shawshank Redemption". Favorite television shows: the only shows I watch consistently are 24 and Scrubs.
