Mike has taught beginner/intermediate skating for inner-city/neighborhood youth at the DIY park we built in his neighborhood in Boston as part of SkateJamPlain, a non-profit org he was trying to start along with some other local skaters in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston. This later became “Extension” a non-profit program of which he was a board member of) in conjunction with Orchard Skateshop. Both programs involve skate camps/lessons community relations getting boards in to the hands of inner city youth and working to build skate spots/dots around the city. While he is not the greatest skater anymore (at 40), he still know HOW to do the tricks and many of the people I have skated with from beginners to pros heed his advice and instruction when trying to land a certain trick. For Search and Destroy a New England version of Thrasher’s King of the Road, he was team “skate coach” 5 years running. He also have worked as a case manager for over 7 years working primarily with at-risk youth in both Boston (at Youth on Fire) and now in Portland (at Outside In).
