Mike has always had an appreciation and passion for music. As a child, he began his musical journey studying piano with several teachers in the Indianapolis area, but he knew he wanted to expand the musical knowledge gained from that and apply it to other instruments.
A native to the Indianapolis area, Mike has been active as a musician since high school. Shortly upon graduating, he moved to Chicago to pursue a Performance Degree in Oboe, and a few years later, moved back to Indianapolis to do the same with Flute. He then spent time in the Indianapolis area playing multiple combinations of recorders, flutes, clarinets, saxophones and double reeds for multiple theatres, churches, several orchestras as well as a big band.
Mike currently resides in Fishers, Indiana.
Notable teachers and professors include: Tammy Thweatt (flute), Greg Imboden (flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone, bassoon), Allison Baker (oboe), Jeff Kunkel (flute, saxophone, piano)
