Mike is a full time Marine Wildlife Photographer and Photo-Pro based in Anilao Philippines. He has an insatiable love for finding unique animal life, observing and photographing animal behavior and shar-ing his insight and knowledge with others. His curiosity and drive for first-hand experience has lead him across the globe in search of that special critter encounter.

Mike is widely published with work appearing monthly in international magazines, websites and inter-net publications. Mike was named as one of the worlds top 101 most inspiring underwater photogra-pher’s in 2016 by Scuba diver ocean planet for his unhinged approach to shooting.

Mike is regarded as an expert in his field for both photography and small animal marine life and en-joys being in the water as much as possible and agrees that the next best thing to being there, is talk-ing about it .
