<strong>Hometown: </strong>Peekskill

Mike joined Patch Jan. 25, 2010 and has written mainly sports for various Patch sites.

Mike&#39;s work was first published in the <strong>Peekskill Herald</strong>. His biggest thrill while writing for the Herald was covering his alma mater&#39;s legendary <strong>Peekskill</strong> boys basketball squad when it won its first two state titles in &#39;95 and &#39;96, led by future NBA all-star <strong>Elton Brand.</strong>

He wrote as a freelancer for the Herald until Aug. &#39;00, when he began to work for the Gannett Weeklies and Express publications, which included the <strong>Patent Trader</strong> and <strong>The Star</strong>, both as a part-timer and freelancer, until Nov. &#39;09.

Mike also freelanced for the <strong>North County News</strong>, from April &#39;06 to June &#39;10.

In addition to his vast newspaper experience, Mike has had his work published in numerous <strong>Getting To Know Magazines</strong>, including the Brewster/Patterson, Mahopac/Carmel, Pleasantville/Briarcliff, Peekskill/Cortlandt and Yorktown editions.

Highlighting his experience with GTK&#39;s was a feature on the tradition rich <strong>Yorktown</strong> boys lacrosse program, focusing on its founder, <strong>Charlie Murphy, </strong>in &#39;03 and a diary on his experience traveling with <strong>Peekskill,</strong> when it won the Class A boys basketball state championship in Glens Falls in &#39;05.

When he&#39;s not writing, Mike enjoys being the public address and TV announcer for the <strong>Peekskill</strong> sports teams, including its 2010-11 girls state basketball championship squad and its five-time state champion boys basketball program.
