After spending several years jumping from industry to industry, Mike was pleasantly surprised, during his first week at Hunt & Gather, to feel a twinge of something that seemed almost like what people have described as "liking your job." He decided to stay and look into it.

Mike is a big fan of organizing projects, and he finds very little to be more satisfying than following through on commitments he's made. His favorite pastime is working diligently (some would say obsessively) on writing and recording original music that nobody really ends up liking that much. His favorite word is "aesthetic" because the "ae" looks so nice, yet for some reason he opts out of being called Michael, shunning an opportunity to own that very same "ae." What's the deal?

WHO'S THE COOLEST OF ALL THE FOUNDING FATHERS?:

Definitely Ben Franklin. But when Washington turned down the chance to be king... that was classy.

OKAY, BUT WHO'S THE GREATEST HUMAN WHO HAS EVER LIVED?:

Jim Henson

I'D REALLY LIKE TO BUY YOU A CELEBRATORY MEAL BECAUSE OF SOMETHING GREAT YOU DID. WHAT SHALL WE EAT?

That's really nice of you! How about a burrito from Olecito in Cambridge? Or some breakfast food? Or: a breakfast burrito!

WHAT'S THE HARDEST PART ABOUT WRITING A BIO ABOUT YOURSELF IN THE THIRD PERSON?

Not sounding like a totally stuck-up, smug jerk. How'd I do?
