Testimonials

“I've had the pleasure of working with Mike on several major projects over the past few years. As an old road dog, it was reaffirming to discover someone like Mike in the system. He's a lot of fun to work with and he avoids short-cuts. In that sense he's quite old school; he understands your (and more importantly, your artist's) vision and has the energy and chops to bring it to life... and keep it running."

“Mike at Dark Shadows is an essential member of our Nexus Music and Arts Festival producing team. From the jump, Mike understood the vision for this new outdoor festival (launched in 2021) and worked hard to assure that the main stage was a well-oiled machine. He’s a conscientious professional who keeps the best interests and safety of the LOH staff/crew, artists, and patrons in mind at all times. Mike’s mission aligns with our own: to provide transformative arts-based experiences in a fun and professional manner.”
