Mike graduated from the University of Texas at Austin (Hook 'Em!) in 2001, where he studied physics and astronomy. When he's not at his day job, or writing about Cocoa in his sometimes night job, Mike spends his time with his friends, and his soon-to-be wife Heather. To unwind from the stresses of life Mike enjoys a good book, and practices Chayon-Ryu martial arts, and indulges in favorite sin of watching South Park.
