Mike is a fantastic creative leader, and it was an absolute pleasure working with and under him for some of Hasbro's biggest brands. He's that leader who helps creatives grow quickly each and every day (if life was Pokémon, Mike would be an endless bag of rare candy 🍬 leveling up those around him). Got an idea? Have a set of shortlisted headlines needing some real feedback? Mike's got you. He's truthful, insightful, encouraging, and specific in his feedback—it's the type of constructive feedback that really motivates, builds and helps creatives raise their game. And he brings this same uplifting energy and clarity of communication to client meetings—helping sell ideas in a way that gets everyone in the room (and Zoom) excited. Finally, perhaps the most beautiful aspect of Mike's leadership is that he's able to recognize each creative's personality—the human behind the talents—and mentor specifically to bring the best skills out of that person. Mike is the truth and highly recommended!

Mike is a top notch creative and leader! I hired Mike as our first Creative Director of our internal agency Cake Mix Studios, as we built out the team. His experience at DDB Chicago and Hill Holiday was a tremendous addition to Cake Mix and his presence was immediately felt. Mike helped identify top talent to join our existing creative team and establish creative process as our workload skyrocketed as much of our external agency work moved in-house. In five years, our global brand campaign productions increased from 3 to 65 largely because of the depth and range of our creative team under Mike's leadership!!! Mike is an incredibly strong writer, presenter and collaborator. He has deep experience across live action, animation and visual effects. Mike is a huge asset to any team he is on!
