Mike has lived most of his life in Winnipeg, Canada. He has been in the conflict resolution field since 1999 and is a Chartered Mediator.
When Mike isn't helping to resolve conflict, he spends his time playing Candy Crush and enjoying life with his wife and two kids (now young adults). Other interests include travelling to exotic and not-so-exotic locales and public speaking. In 2017, Mike delivered a TEDx Talk that debunked the saying, "You spend more time at work than you do at home."
Parenting by Text is Mike's first book, though not his last. He has plans to publish a second book of interactive short stories that will spark the imagination of pre-teens, teens and parents alike.
