History|| Grew up in rural wisconsin to a conservative, religious couple and one older brother. His family life was typical: school, church, boys scouts. He became a mechanic in his teens at the local garage and only became panicked about his life at 18 when he realized he might forever be stuck in this lifestyle. His aunt from NYC offered to pay for his schooling and he moved to the Bay Area, where he fell into the gay scene and found his first serious relationship. That ended in an unfortunate way and Mike decided it would be best to "go straight" and leave that behind him. He found a wife in college, married, and had two children with the woman.
They were married until circa 2013 when he was caught in the midst of on affair with a young prostitute. It turned out his marriage was a lavender one- that his wife was also a lesbian- but it did not end well despite this. Tricia blamed the failure of the marriage on him, outing him, but refusing to be out herself. This resulted in a bridge between him and his adult children that he still fighting to bridge back. Upon the collapse of his life, he moved out of the family home, got a divorce from his wife and began his very recent career as a political pundit to make up the money he lost from being married to his high powered attorney. Though divorced, he still considers her his best friend and they continue to work together in their nonprofit environmental foundation aimed at petitioning the government to give economic incentives for power companies to research "green energy solutions". He is the research aspect and his wife has been the legal element of it.
