In his free time, Mike enjoys spending time with family. He has been married to his lovely wife (Larissa) since 2005. They have welcomed 5 tiny humans into their family and they enjoy doing athletics, camping, and traveling. Mike's secret superpower is his ability to deflect the one and only question he gets from his kids, "Where's Mom?".
