From his very first gig (after college) with ESPN, to his current role at Wolfgang LA overseeing creative on adidas, Mike’s always gravitated to sports-related brands. Beyond sports, Mike’s pro bono work for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation (the “Imaginary Friend Society”) has helped countless kids better understand cancer care and was permanently adopted by leading pediatric hospitals worldwide.
