About Mike

I've always been drawn to stories — the ones we tell ourselves, and the ones we share with others.

Writing began as a creative outlet and became a lifeline, helping me make sense of loss, love, and life's many plot twists. Over time, that passion turned into nine published novels that weave humor, heart, and reflection.

Curiosity led me to launch Uncorking a Story, a podcast where I've interviewed more than 430 authors about their journeys. Each conversation reminds me that stories connect us, heal us, and push us to grow.

Professionally, I've spent my career in qualitative research, uncovering the human truths behind why people behave the way they do as buyers. Now, I bring those threads together — as an author, podcaster, and coach — to help others find and share their own stories.

Because at the end of the day, our stories are what outlast us — and they deserve to be told.
