Extended Biography

Mickey is a Michigan-based writer of thrillers, sci-fi and satire.

Something of a multipotentialite, he has degrees in computer engineering and information science, works in digital marketing, plays ukulele and recently started cartooning and tap dancing. He is an expert on creative productivity, web publishing, and dirty limericks.

Mickey studied computer engineering in college, and has worked for over 35 years in technology. Currently, he’s a webmaster for an insurance company. Recently, he formed a publishing company to produce his own books.

Working full-time forced him to become a student of productivity and efficiency to find—or make—time for his writing. But he also went on a journey of personal development, shedding as many bad habits, biases and limiting beliefs as possible. His creative practice is a combination of meditation, journaling, planning, and storytelling that brings him joy even when the books aren’t selling.

For fun, he plays with his dogs, draws, plays ukulele, and tells stories at the Moth whenever possible.

He has written seven books he promotes, plus a few others that have been laid to rest. Currently, he’s working on a psychological thriller and a satire in a business setting. After those, he’ll continue his dystopian sci-fi series and his amateur detective mystery series.

He is also developing a set of courses on creativity, writing and publishing to share what he has learned along the way. His background in technology has made him an expert in several computer-based tools for writing, planning and publishing, but he loves to put pen to paper every day and can show you why it’s important and effective to write by hand.

A fan of storytelling in all its forms, he won a Moth StorySLAM with his 17th delivered story.
