Mike is a charismatic emcee. He was able to interact with a room filled with a diverse audience and keep them all engaged. Adaptable and professional with a quick wit. He will certainly be the resident emcee of our golf tournament.
Would certainly recommend him for your next event.

What to Expect
So I won't flower up this section like I've done in the past. Whenever these columns came up, I would talk about all the fun stuff that I do, and how everyone is gonna... not going to do that to you.
As the mc I am the narrator, the night of creative director and the emotion concierge. My main duty is to convey the message of my client to their guests in the most reasonable way. If its traditional, fun, family or corporate, there isn't a situation that I can't adjust to.
After 17 years in the industry, working first in bars 5 nights a week, hosting music trivia and more, to now hosting high end galas and weddings at these hotels...I just know my way around an event that is very tough to explain...
I can walk into a room filled with 200 people and know within 10 minutes how I'm going to approach the crowd. I read people really well and I'm highly empathic. I beleive it's that personality trait that make me a great professional MC.
I work well with other planners and talent because my main focus on the night is to make sure everything goes smoothly, but also to help others shine. When I was a younger performer, I used to make myself the star. I wanted the spotlight. But as I aged like fine wine, I realized the true value for my client is to make their friends, family, and coworkers the entertainment. Make others the stars of the show and you the star planner.
I've done over 700 events. Emceed over 400 weddings easily. Corporate events and more.
About
I have a life story that is truly unbelievable. I'm grateful for all the ability to perform and natural talent that has literally carried me through life. Everything that has happened, good and bad, has led me to be who I am today.
I know we all say that and I beleive that is a great sign of self awareness and self respect. Being conscious of your journey is a gift for all your hard work. Nothing was ever given to me and I had to fight for every single victory in my life.
This career was my destiny. Telling jokes to the class in elementary school.... desk in the hallway lol. Every job I've ever had was a sales job... Talking. It wasn't until the 2008 recession that I decided to become what I am today.
The Entertainer.
Additional Booking Notes
A stage is always great. I do like to engage with the audience and make them a part of the event.
Depending on the engagement level we decide on, there may be a lighting requirement to discuss but it's never been an issue in the past.
I do need to use a wireless mic. I do bring my own mics, speaker and headset just in case I run into audio issues or the client has failed to tell ne about the audio situation at the venue.
Set List
As the nights emcee, I travel with a professional dj who takes care of my music, sound and the dancefloor later.
We generally ask the client to submit a spotify list or written out list to help create the playlist. Even a thoughtful list of artists or genres help as well.
