In his earlier years, he worked for WLFH Radio.

Mike loved golfing, playing darts and was an avid movie/DVD collector. He was a gentle, friendly, caring man who greeted people in a kind manner and took a personal interest making them feel at ease and in a friendly frame of mind. Mike was a man of integrity laced with humor, and an overall wonderful man. He was a great son, brother and father, loved those he cared about equally, and gave them his time and support.
