Mike is a man who likes living on the edge! He has had the privilege of parachuting, riding in hot air balloons, tanks, jet fighters, World War II vintage airplanes and even submarines.
He has served more than 30 years as a ground Search and Rescue technician, rescue diver, Search and Rescue pilot and is an experienced survival instructor.
His photography skills were self-taught while he was becoming a self-published author of four books. Along with flying and photography, his newest passion is playing African dundun and djembe drums.
Mike has travelled extensively from Alaska to South America, Europe and the Caribbean, recording his adventures on film and digital media. He is a committed Nikon fan, contributing to magazines and newspaper articles including Canadian Geographic, WestJet Magazine, Triathlete Magazine, Comox Search and Rescue, Waterloo Music Corporation, Okanagan Life Magazine, Okanagan Women Magazine and Canadian Aviator Magazine.
His first book, entitled The Penticton Fire of 1994 was followed by Ironman Canada Triathlon - the Pain and the Glory, and then two aerial photography books, Okanagan Above and North Okanagan Above.
His love of life is contagious! Mike's favourite quote is, "If you're not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!"
