About me

Who is new media Mike?

I have been in and around the “new media” industry since 1994 when kiosks and CD ROMs were state of the art. I have seen the industry grow and change.  I have worked in the trenches of new media for 10 years, as an account and project manager, as a video producer, a web developer and now as a Search Engine Optimization consultant.

My nickname comes from how I used to answer the phone at creative Post - “New media,  Mike speaking”.

I live in the Beach area of Toronto with Liz, my spouse/life partner of 19 years and our two daughters the Brunette (15) and Blondie (12) {Names are concealed to avoid me getting slaughtered for using them!} along with our two dogs, Keegan a 5 year old “Fluffy” Pembroke Welsh Corgi and Grace our 5 year old rescued retired racing Greyhound.

I’m also the Chairperson of the Advisory Board of the Interactive Multimedia Developers program at Canadore College.

In my spare time I play a lot of online poker.
