Although in his early years, Mike saw no need for computer skills, he soon found that they would become an essential part of his life. Mike began with his interest in computers at an early age and spent much of his free time developing new skills and helping others with their computer problems. Mike quickly became the “go-to person” when someone he knew had a computer question or problem and this became more frequent after he joined Tech Time, the Computer club at Haverford Middle School. It was there, Mike learned more computer skills including: video editing, desktop publishing, graphic design, web design and much more. In High School, Mike continued furthering his technological skills and began to subscribe to podcasts, both technology and other topics, which is what made Mike interested in becoming a content producer for the Internet.
