He was a reviewer, columnist, and cartoonist for ACE Magazine, has produced advertising for print and other media, and is the creator of several well-received tabletop games. In addition to his freelance work, Mike has taught college courses in comics and cartooning. Mike has a BS in History and Political Science from McPherson College.
