After completing High School and ready for University, Mike, through circumstance, joined his father in the family printing business and completed an apprenticeship as a Compositor.

In 1994, Mike made the move to Melbourne as Victorian Sales Manager of Expo Document Copy Centre for two years after which he left to join a Silk Screen Printing Company based at the foot of the Dandenong Ranges. After a year with that company, the call back to Perth was too strong and in 1997, Mike rejoined Expo as Print Facilities Manager and facilitated in the install of two print cells within large Mining Companies. Mike now works as a Senior Account Manager for Project Services Australia one of the leading digital printing organisations in Western Australia. Mike was invited to join the Rotary Club of Thornlie in 2002. The time he spent as Vocational Director was very rewarding and he was honoured with a Paul Harris Fellowship by his club.
