    Mike was born at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. As a young child, he lived in Texas, New Jersey, Oklahoma and Maryland, although his formative years were spent primarily in Florida. Mike lived in Miami for six years and then attended high school in Clearwater. Mike attended the University of Florida both for his undergraduate education in accounting and for law school, receiving a bachelor's in accounting in 1983 and his juris doctor in 1985. At college, Mike was active in his fraternity and his school and was tapped into Florida Blue Key while in law school.
