Mike got started DJing and running live audio in his teens. Studied sound production at RMIT, did his time in corporate AV and has spent over a decade working across live sound, broadcast, music production, drone photography, drone video and more recently camera work.

He is a location sound recordist, sound engineer and CASA licensed ReOC chief drone pilot. The kind of person who over-plans so he can roll with whatever happens on the day. Calm, organised, focused on the job and cheeky enough to keep it fun.

Credits include adventure reality TV, network cooking and news shows, lifestyle series, nature documentaries, outside broadcasts, concerts, mockumentaries, festivals, sport events, music videos, brand activations and corporate shoots. Some of the bigger ones: Netflix, Red Bull Racing, The Amazing Race and Bloomberg.
