Mike attended Riverside Military Academy in Gainesville, GA, graduated from O. Perry Walker High School, Class of 1978 and attended Nazareth College in Rochester, NY, majoring in Fine Arts. He was the Head Chef at Woodland Plantation, reputed to be the “Best chef on ‘da Westbank”. He followed many passions in his life in addition to cooking. He was a talented artist and enjoyed drawing and painting. His love of the beach and the Gulf of Mexico inspired him to live in Destin, FL for a short time. He had an extensive vinyl record collection that brought old school flavor into his love for music, especially Bob Dylan. He was an avid Saints fan and never missed a chance to scream “Who Dat”!
