Mike, who passed away on February 1, 2023,  was the Co-Executive Producer of the WGTD Radio Theater and the WGTD Radio Classics Theater.  He had twenty-five years of experience at large and small companies as a business operations strategy and implementation consultant.  With that background, Mike always made sure that all the minutiae of bringing a production to life are attended to and taken care of on time and on budget.  He was the detail and business guy who deals with the accountants, banks, and lawyers.

His writing and producing experience included collaborating with Steve Brown on several screenplays, dramatic and comedic radio programs, and stage plays.  He enjoyed researching the history of the events that are portrayed in their dramas and making sure that the nuances of established characters (like Augie Doggie and Huckleberry Hound!) are accurate and properly depicted.

Not to be outdone on the creative side, Mike adapted Bizet’s “Carmen” for Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd to present at the WGTD Radio Theater’s Third Annual Cartoon Radio Show in January, 2010.

He will always be missed by everyone who had the honor of working with him.
