Originally from Swansea in Wales, Mike studied at Liverpool John Moores University.

In 2012, Mike came to the USA to work on British Soccer Camps, working out of the Midwest Office for Challenger Sports. This led Mike to be contracted to work for soccer clubs in various states across the U.S, including North Dakota, Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri. Mike also coached preschool soccer for 2-5 year olds for 4 years whilst in his position with Challenger Sports.

Mike then moved on to be an Executive Account Manager for Challenger Sports, moving to work in their Austin office. During this time, Mike managed over 150 soccer programs a year.

Mike left Challenger Sports in September 2019 to move into a full-time position with FC Westlake as one of the Girls Program Directors. Since then, Mike has been a Competitive Director and is currently the Pre-ECNL Boys Director.

In his spare time, Mike’s favorite soccer team is Swansea City, and is also an avid Kansas City Chiefs fan and golfer.
