Bio
'Tony the Taxman' Nazarowski
Mike has always been the "go-to" guy when I appear on WGN, He makes sure the questions are there and that the segment goes as smooth as a well done tax return. I am proud to have known and worked with him for over 10 years. He is a man in control.

Mike is one of the hardest working TV producers in Chicago. He probably has one of the most stressful jobs in broadcast journalism, but whenever we discuss story ideas, he is patient, kind, helpful and cool, calm and collected. He is willing to give advice and be honest with me about whether my story ideas have merit. My goal is to not waste his time, and I can tell he feels the same about my time. I thoroughly enjoy working with this true media professional.
