Bio
Mike is a student at the University of Minnesota majoring in Tuba Performance and Music education and expects to graduate in the Spring of 2009. He discovered the JBB while walking through the music building and then grabbing an F tuba to come in and play some baselines.
His interest in brass band music has only begun, and he looks forward to going to New Orleans in the next year to get a first-hand look at the unique culture. He enjoys watching baseball under any circumstances and will be a Minnesota Twins fan until they start losing hardcore like they did in the mid-late 90's. Mike also has a potentially dangerous love of chinese buffets that has left many restaurants nervous and heavily perspiring.
