Mike was born in a yurt in the Himalayas, where he was raised by goats until the age of 9. After founding, scaling, and exiting the first AI Blockchain Cannabis e-commerce quantum computing business, he traveled the world searching for transformational elf machines and has rollerbladed across Antarctica twice. He once drove an ice cream truck covered in human skulls and has been widely credited for the first use of radio waves to communicate with oceanic bacteria. Mike now resides in Golden, Colorado with his two children.
