A highly successful industry veteran in home video sales, marketing, and acquisitions for some of Hollywood's largest studios, Mike's 23-year career began in sales for Congress Video Group and VidAmerica before he was recruited by Orion.

Mike was quickly moved into management where he flourished during Orion's golden era with such releases as Dances With Wolves and Silence of the Lambs. Rising to the position of Senior Vice President of Sales, Mike was responsible for all entertainment sales in the US and Canada until Orion was sold to MGM, where he continued in a similar role until being drafted by Lionsgate. In three very productive years with Lionsgate Mike contributed to revenues that rose from $32 million to $110 million before being lured away to First Look Studios where he was central to an even more dramatic 500% increase in sales from 2004-07.

In 2007, Mike decided to rise to the challenge of creating a brand new entity. With Rivercoast Film Distribution, Mike assembled a top national sales team with access to the largest national accounts. Mike is currently lending his talents and considerable resources to direct Continuum's distribution strategy.
