Born in McLean, Virginia, as a younger child Mike acted in community theatre before deciding at age 12 to forego professional acting for a more normal childhood and a competitive swimming career (friends may dispute Mike's "normalcy," but we digress). At Princeton Mike is pursuing a major in Chemistry and certificates in the Woodrow Wilson School, French, and Materials Science and Engineering (read: huge nerd). He is also a varsity swimmer and the kid who signed up for a few too many things at the activities fair. Fortunately, this brash overcommitment results in frequent free clothing and the occasional dessert reception, which is always nice.

Mike has been dancing competitively since age four and has performed at the Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, and the National Theatre in London. Okay, we made that up. He actually has no prior dance experience but is having an amazing time learning the ropes from his fellow Hypers. Body Body!
