Mike graduated from UMaine-Farmington in 1989, earning a Secondary Education/History degree.

While at Farmington, he played four years of basketball for the Beavers, and progressed each season of competition. He went from being voted the team's Most Improved Player in 1986-87 to earning the Most Valuable Player in 1987-88 and co-MVP honors in 1988-89.

His strong rebounding game helped him break into the starting line-up on a part-time basis as a freshman and remain there throughout his career.

Mike was a 1,000-point scorer, posting 1,166 career points. He had 789 career field goals, a .609 career field goal percentage, and a .792 career free throw percentage, all of which are among the best marks in program history.

At the time of his induction, Mike was a teach and coach at Morse High School in Bath, Maine.
