A geeky Marine that likes to read comic books and avoid choking the random person. Will do just about anything for a Guinness. I am also now a Nikonian. Just got a Nikon D40 and life has not been the same. I'm starting to get used to carrying my camera around now because if I don't have it on me all the cool shots pass me by.
I don't follow the status quo and march to my own drum. (want to know what I mean by that just ask)

bitca says:
"There is a consistent brilliance to Mikey's photography. He's smart and talented--absolutely, but the man behind the camera is someone you should get to know. He is one of the best people I've ever met that I've never met."

"The first word that comes to mind when I think of Mikey is CHARISMA. I enjoy sharing my morning coffee with him and he always makes me smile."

"Does Mikey need one more testimonial telling people what a great guy he is... no... but here's one anyway!
I had dropped out of the flickr mainstream a while back and somehow missed his inclusion in the 365 Days Project. But after beginning my second year, I've found that Mikey keeps me entertained throughout the day.
Sometimes he's just posting random photos of what's going on during the day, other times he's leaping 20 feet into the air... just cause he can... and leaving us with an amazing piece of art.
I always feel warm and fuzzy when Mikey leaves a comment in my stream... it's nice knowing he's been there. He's often funny and charming. It's good to know that there's some good people lurking out there on the internets.
Keep up the good work Mikey!"10th April, 2008

"Whenever I need inspiration, a pick-me-up, or a smile on my face, I head over to Mikey's photostream. It's candy for your soul. This boy's got mad skillz, and a radiant personality to boot!"

"Mikey....what to say about him other than that he is the sweetest man ever - with a dirty streak a mile wide and that is why we love right? He is also very creative with his camera, posing, and let's not get started with that tongue :)"

"I look forward to seeing Mikey's photostream when I sign on...I know he'll either make me laugh, swoon or make me wish I thought of it first ;-)"

"His sense of humor, his sensitivity and his photographic vision ...oh and did I mention the man has a butt that Michelangelo would be jealous of!! All reasons to love this guy! Mikey -- the quirky and cool Marine! You go boy! :o)"

TurboSpaz says:
"Mikey is a collector. His prized collections have to be his music and all the beautiful women in his life. He lives life his way and by his terms and inspires others around him to do the same. His smile is contagious, his crazy facial expressions make my day and most of all his passion for life allow me appreciate how much I take for granted. If you're lucky enough to be one of Mikey's friends, you're in for a treat."

"Mikey is always full of creativity and surprise. His shots range from loving family to OMG! Year 2 of Mikey 365 is gonna be a blast!! Love ya man!! =)"

Just Say K.B. says:
"Mikey's work traverses many aspects of photography that I love. I'm enjoying watching his portfolio work grow with every landscape and portrait that he takes. To a beginning photographer like myself, it's inspiring. His 365 project shots switches from cool and provocative to quirky and fun. Personally I'm looking forward to Year Two!
More important than any shot he'll take is his dedication to his family and home life. That in itself should be admired more than anything.
Keep handling your business, Black Man."14th September, 2007

Chapendra says:
"Mikey's photographs show a strong family man, with a BIG heart. He's often silly as well, sticking out his tongue and playing with mirrors. Keep up the good work, my friend!"

Northend Nique says:
"Mikey is always there. Always. He shows up for every picture, every time, with a kind word, pinch or giggle. He can make me smile every time he says something. Mikey is a good person to know. I am so proud that I can call him a true friend. Thanks for always being there for me Mikey! :)"

"Had the pleasure of meeting Mikey in prison..err... I mean I&I duty in Greensboro, NC. A fellow Mac user and tech geek. Once I got promoted to Staff Sergeant, will were finally allowed to 'legally' hang out. We're on different coasts now but he is one of the few, if not only, Marine that I constantly keep in touch with. Never lose touch bro!"
