His mother was a homemaker supported the dream's and ambition's of her son, while working hard to raise Mikey and his older brother Glen. Lyrics from the great George Jones and Merle Haggard often filled the small Kentucky home, as friends and family members would gather in with their instruments and bring the music to life. With a great love for music and a guitar given to him by his father he learned to play at age thirteen, and would go on to perform in local venues and fairs around eastern Kentucky.
