Mike grew up in New Jersey before migrating south to Myrtle Beach, SC in 2000 to attend college at Coastal Carolina University. Now having lived over half of his life in South Carolina, he has adjusted to the slower pace a bit (but still struggles with it from time to time). He didn’t pick up the game of golf until after college, but he quickly fell in love with the game… even though he still considers himself a hack.

When Mike isn’t working or out on the course, he likes to spend time with his wife, Sybil, their three children, Shane, Indie, and Fletcher, as well as surfing and being active in his local F3 Region. Mike is quite content getting to live in a place that offers him as many courses and waves as he can handle.
