Mike is so wired into the area high school sports that three recent prep stars - Shaheen Holloway, Ron Artest and Chris Simms - made their college choices public on his show. Mike is a frequent contributor on MSG SportsDest and does color commentary on MSG's high school basketball and football action.

Although he is well known for his on-air work, Mike gained respect from industry insiders for his behind-the-scenes activities after he joined MSG Network in 1987. He startedas a senior reporter, field producer and associate producer for the "Coca-Cola High School SportsWeek" show and worked in that capacity with hosts Greg Gumbel and Al Trautwig. His efforts led to several New York Film Festival awards and a New York Emmy in 1988 in the "Best Informative Series" category.

Mike, who has also worked on such MSG shows as the "St. John's Report" and Yankees baseball, was nominated for a 1995 New York Emmy Award for "Outstanding Sports Programming" for a feature he did on Gil McDougald.

Mike is a graduate ofSacred Heart University who broke into broadcasting at News 12 of Connecticut in 1986. At News 12, he worked as a camera man before doing his first on-air stint as a sideline reporter for high school basketball and football telecasts.
