Mike's Testimony

Mike was born on the Southside of Chicago, Illinois, to a Mother who could not afford the four children she already had, certainly not the new one on the way. This family had the usual trappings of poverty, including alcoholism, addictions, absent father. Mike’s brother was killed in the streets at 17 years old, and another brother died in prison at 17. His two sisters followed an unfortunate path as adolescents. Mike met his biological father for the first time and only time when he was 27 years old. But Mike was rescued. Mike was given up for adoption, a choice that would ultimately save his life. Dropped into a very-very conservative Christian home, the fun was about to start. You will weep for joy when you hear him tell about the rescue of his soul.

Mike learned to speak to crowds, keeping listeners awake while working with his father at rescue missions, and hundreds of public school presentations over the years. He has taught comedy at Dynamic Communicator Workshop.

Mike and his wife adopted their first child after 12 years of marriage and went on to have 3 more. That adopted child came from a similar background to him.

After being married for 25 years, they put their house on the market and moved to the Dominican Republic to develop CUPS Mission, a rescue ministry for sexually trafficked girls and a feeding program for people living in a garbage dump. They continue to fund a portion of that work through Mike’s comedy presentations in the United States.

You will be moved and inspired as you hear the story of the grace of God in Mike’s life. Mike’s past, it is not his present. Mike will have you laughing your socks off at the real-life humor around you. Mike is a serious and positive speaker, whose style makes people laugh while presenting an uplifting life-changing message. You may have heard his comedy and testimony through his tours with major bands like Mercy Me, Switchfoot, Casting Crowns, and more.

Along the journey has garnered a GMA / CCA Dove Award, Grady Nutt Humor Award. Mike likes to stay busy!
