Biography

Mike lives with his wife, Michele, and family in Doylestown. When I first opened my practice in 2022, Michele and I were raising two teenagers, CJ and Ellie. We were all active in the Bucks County community and we spent way too much time with our pets, Beetlejuice, Baxter and Buddy. As the last few years have passed, CJ recently graduated college with a degree in immunology and infectious diseases and a math minor. His published thesis is on his LinkedIn page. He plans to research and work towards an advanced degree. Ellie is in her junior year at college majoring in History and Music. She loves studying LBJ and his role in the civil rights movement. She is involved in the music groups at college where she plays piano, sings and plays trumpet. When we get together now, we do a lot of laughing and cooking, still love to do active things and spend time with our pets Baxter and Buddy. Music has always been a part of my life. My Dad was a high school band director. I learned to play the tuba and later the bass guitar. At Penn State, I played the sousaphone in the Marching Blue Band and traveled to see Penn State beat Miami in the Fiesta Bowl and win the National Championship. I later played in a “not very good” rock band but loved it. My children each play the piano and other instruments. I really enjoyed listening to them make jazz music at Central Bucks West. My musical skills are rusty, but I love making music and playing Classic Rock songs with my talented children. Fitness is an integral part of our lives. Michele, also an attorney, served on the YMCA Board of Directors for 6 years. She is a personal trainer, fitness instructor and fitness advocate. I enjoy friendly fitness competitions with my friends, and have challenged myself with P90X, Tough Mudders, and an Arnold Pump and Run. CJ runs, plays basketball, Brazilian jiu jitsu, and lifts weights.  Ellie was a runner and played soccer, but now loves walking the dog and backpacking on the Appalachian Trail. Mike is an Eagle Scout and was Scoutmaster/Assistant Scoutmaster for both of his children. In 2021, he backpacked Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico with CJ and in 2022, he returned to Philmont with Ellie.
