As the iconic Olympic Flame drew ever closer to a city it would change forever, Mike co-anchoredCTV News: Olympic Edition every afternoon live from Robson Street in downtown Vancouver.

He also hosted the nine-hour marathon broadcast on the flame's arrival, a show that aired across the country and attracted millions of viewers.

In 2011, The Georgia Straight annual readers’ choice poll “Best of Vancouver” named Mike and Tamara ‘Best Local TV Anchors.’

Born and raised here, Mike was first pointed in the direction of broadcast journalism by a counsellor at Hillside Secondary in West Vancouver who thought the young student had the right stuff for a career in the public eye.

Mike is a graduate of BCIT's Broadcast Communications program and joined CTV British Columbia in August, 2001. He is married, has two sons and when Mike's not on the air, he enjoys playing beer-league hockey, golf and hiking the North Shore mountains.
