At the end of his playing career, he completed his bachelor’s degree in kinesiology and physical education from the University of Maine.

Mike is convinced every child and or adult should have a chance to be a ‘player’ and supports League of Dreams as a board member, donor and volunteer. He is in his first three-year term as Chairman of the Board. He and his wife, Monica, reside in Ruxton, Md. with their six children.
