Mike grew up in mt.arlington n.j and stayed in the same house until he  moved on to start a family. Growing up he always looked forward to snow hoping to have a day off from school. One of his favorite things to do was play with Lincoln logs building houses and such,he enjoyed riding bikes after school and going and hanging out at the school with the "gang". Mike always looked forward for summer as I'm sure we all did just to be able to sleep in,spend the days of summer hanging out with friends at their house or ours,playing stick ball, hide and seek,freeze tag and all the stuff we did back then.Mike liked to swim in the pool but he liked to lay out and tan while listening to the radio better. Mike got decent grades in school but he also like to clown around as well. As Mike got older he enjoyed to work working at a place called Tastebud in the ledgewood mall to start, he had a good work ethic working jobs as a tow truck driver,different auto body shops,also at one point starting up a landscaping business. When Mike got his license he enjoyed the freedom of being able to go anywhere he wanted. Mike also at one point when Mt.Arlington was going to try a junior police or auxiliary police I forget but he was genuinely interested in joining but it did not happen. Mike later on joined the volunteer fire department for a while not sure how long it was. Mike also loved his vehicles always keeping them spit shined all the time,he also had to have the cool things for a vehicle like tinted head and tail lights,along with a kicking stereo system,you could hear him a mile away coming. One of mikes favorite vehicle was his pickup truck which was a light blue in color that he had clear coated, he also had his name airbrushed on the doors along with the wile e. coyote and road runner on the back gate
