He’s collaborated with ad agencies, production companies and networks and earned several nominations and awards over the years, including 8 regional Emmys.
A graduate with a BFA in Film Studies from Colorado University - Denver, Mike got his start in the business well before receiving his degree. His first taste came at a busy post production house, Wicker Works, as a tape operator and assistant editor. His senior year he was recruited to direct commercials for an Academy Award winning production company, Dewey-Obenchain Films. While behind the camera for many successful productions, he developed a passion for editing that landed him at the highly reputable advertising agency JWT (J. Walter Thompson). This was the jumping off point where he honed his craft in short-form story telling through commercials. He then went on to cut promos for a NBCUniversal Sports Network, and shifted his expertise from automotive, to sports. He went on to produce, direct and edit many fight features with world class UFC fighters for AXSTV. Most recently Mike has been editing features for AT&T SportsNet - Colorado Rockies, and Scripps Sports - Vegas Golden Knights.
Mike thrives on producing quality products and treats every production with the highest priority. He is well rounded in the knowledge of post-production media management and technology, with experience in file-based ingest, transcoding, output and digital delivery. He has extensive experience with a wide variety of editing and motion graphics platforms, including Adobe Premier, After Effects and Cinema 4D. He is also well versed in color correction, and has the technical experience of both audio and video broadcast standards.
When he's not working, Mike enjoys spending time with his wife and four young children, being with friends, golfing, and the occasional trip to the mountains.
