Mike has also earned himself a spot as a certified ABO Technical Level III speaker, and has a passion for teaching fellow opticians to educate their patients about their prescription and their glasses. In his spare time, he runs a weekly ABO Advanced Study Group where he holds weekly classes that help to usher in the next generation of top tier, Advanced Certified opticians.

Mike hails from Atlanta, GA where he started his optical career as an Apprentice in a Licensed state, where he underwent intensive training on his craft.
