Mike grew up in Atlanta, Georgia before relocating to Houston, Texas in 1993. This has led to him being a diehard fan of sports franchises from both cities. He graduated from the University of Houston in 2001 with a major in business finance and a minor in creative writing.

He began writing for the Houston Texans and Houston Rockets for SB Nation in 2007 and his other ventures include stints with the Fanball Network, a paid columnist at The Bleacher Report and a short run as an editor and lead writer with Bloguin. Mike is currently a Featured Columnist for the NFL on The Pigskin Report and a contributor for the Houston Texans at State of the Texans, which is affiliated with FOX Sports and Yardbarker.
