A special message from Mike ...

To quote Sullivan's Travels, "There's something to be said for making people laugh. You know that's all that some people have? It isn't much, but its better than nothing in this cock-eyed caravan." * I am a freelance writer living in Santa Cruz, CA who, despite the stereotype associated with the town, does not surf nor do I concern myself with the supposed government cover-ups associated with contrails. * My inspirations range from Larry Gelbart, James Thurber and Robert Benchley to Preston Sturges and Groucho Marx (a tattoo of whom adorns my left arm). * My experience as a writer has gone across the board from opinion pieces to technical writing of procedures. I enjoy the satisfaction of a finished product, regardless of the job. * I am incredibly affable, easy to work with, charming, loyal and can be counted on to drive a getaway car.

Experience
ClientsTechMedic * Pompadour Pictures * ArnoCorps * UC Santa Cruz * Doglovers Wine Club * Carivintas Winery * Demand Media
PublicationsMetro Santa Cruz * North Bay Bohemian * Ape Culture * Johnny America * Backhand Stories * Absolute Write * Farmhouse Magazine * Alchemy Review * The Good Times * The Wonder Boy Review * Metro Silicon Valley
Special SkillsFinding the humor in any situation or story and bringing it out for the reader. Great deal of knowledge of American history, pop culture from 1920's and up, well versed in an array of musical genres and self-proclaimed know-it-all film geek regarding cinema. Other skills not mentioned are private and might get me in trouble with my wife upon public demonstration.
Additional ServicesCopy writing, dialogue, procedures (technical writing), but nothing political as I get too incensed on certain subjects. * Also, makes a mean lasagne
Testimonials "Please, hire him for something. He owes me money." -- Mike's mom. * * * “No more submissions ” --The New Yorker * * * “If this is the pool of talent from which we have to choose nowadays, then I'm going into real estate." --J.E., Penguin Press
