Bearded Mike,

Coach Mike,

Brand Mike,

Your Choice!

Hey there! I’m a laid-back creative based in Long Beach, Southern California. They say find what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life. Well, designing is my passion, and I’m all about helping your brand shine.

When I’m not geeking out on creative expression, you’ll find me on the baseball field, coaching and sharing life lessons with the boys. Family comes first, and kindness is key in everything I do.

Let’s collaborate and create something amazing together!

Tinkering

Recognizing the multitude of solutions to a single problem, I am dedicated to continual learning, enriching my toolbox with new skills.

Dedicated

As someone who thrives on deadlines, I always give my best to uphold my end of the deal and take pride in supporting others.

In my perspective, maintaining a positive attitude and embracing patience are essential for embodying kindness and making a positive impact.

In my experience, dedication outweighs talent, and I believe going the extra mile is crucial for any meaningful endeavor.

a bit more about me

interest & hobbies

As a devoted family man, my wife Cortney and I cherish every moment with our son Maddux, guiding him through his active childhood and creating unforgettable memories together.

As a lifelong Atlanta Braves fan, I’ve dedicated much of my time to coaching at Cypress Youth Baseball, sharing my passion for the game.

Immersed in the BMX racing world with my son on the PATS 605 team, I’ve spent countless hours trackside, playing mechanic, and designing team swag.

Meet AXL, our buff Chihuahua mix! With his quirky antics, he keeps us entertained and brings laughter to our home every day.

I’m a hardcore music fan through and through; however, for less intense musical enjoyment, I also appreciate country, hip hop, folk punk, and some Hans Zimmer in my life.

Gritty dark dramas and sports vignettes are where it’s at for me, yet I also enjoy the occasional rom-com and stand-up comedy. And I’ll be your huckleberry if you say Tombstone isn’t amazing.

I am a man of many hats, and you’ll always find me wearing them with shades and a coffee mug in tow. I genuinely get excited about the prospect of helping others when I can, especially when it comes down to providing my skills as a designer. 

My calm demeanor is matched and balanced with my intensity for excellence. If my deadpan humor doesn’t amuse you, I’ll just assume you like your pans alive and well.

At the end of the day, god willing, let’s turn up the volume and have some fun and be of service to one another.
