Mike’s background in photography began in high school while working on the yearbook staff. He gained a lot of knowledge working alongside the school photographers during that time. He became a part-time employee with that school photography company while attending college, then hired full-time as the company began to expand their business.

Mike started his own school photography business in 1996 and worked for himself for 14 years. He then went to work for Bowden Photography in 2010 and is now in partnership with Mr. Bowden. Mike enjoys working with students of all ages as well as the school staff.

Mike is married to Marsha, and together they have 5 children and one grandchild.
