Overview & Background
As Mr. Mike, I bring the joy of learning to students in elementary and middle schools in an enthusiastic way. The eye-opening and musically energetic show about Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences is one of my favorite experiences to share with students, teachers, and parents. Using interactive methods in all the presentations allows students to learn to thrive in their own minds. Through movement, music, and creativity, students are able to bring greater learning and higher levels of happiness to their lives. All presentations have a high level of energy with lots of smiles, some musical accompaniment, and volunteer opportunities too.
​
Prior to becoming a teacher in 1999, I was a full-time actor in Boston & NYC working on my own improvements with a voice coach, acting coach, and many years of auditioning ... with lots of "No" answers afterwards. Through practice and repetition and a positive attitude, I eventually found success in television roles, movies, commercials, and even live musical theater performances.
