Introduction
Hi, I'm Michael but everyone calls me Mike. I am a third year marketing student attending the University of Guelph. I consider myself an easy going guy, who enjoys the little things in life. I enjoy long walks on the beach, and cuddling near a fire. I also enjoy being sarcastic.

Personal Life
I was born in Toronto, but lived in the town of Maple until age 5 when I moved to Oakville. With Maple being right around the corner from Canada's Wonderland I had the chance to ride the 'coasters several times a week. This probably would have been a greater feature had I not been afraid of roller coasters until age 7. Especially now with that new Behemoth (roller coaster), I probably would have cried just looking at it. The Behemoth reaches a top speed of 125km/h from the first drop and comes down on a 75 degree angle.

When I was five I never would have predicted I would fiend this ride. I continue to live in Oakville when I am not at school, spending plenty of quality time with my mother. Yes, that is a joke.

Top 3 Memories

 * 1) Being at Game 7 Stanley Cup Final Game in 2008
 * 2) Scoring a goal in the 4th overtime of a semi-final game
 * 3) Anything and everything to do with attending the University of Guelph

Education and Academic Career
I attended Oakville Trafalgar High School, OT as we called it, before coming to Guelph. I graduated with honours, a business certificate, and a technology certificate. I hope to one day get my MBA at a school outside of Canada.

Sports
My family has always been very sports intense, and this has definitely rubbed off on myself. Here is a short list of sports I try to play as much as possible:


 * Basketball
 * Baseball
 * Soccer
 * Hockey
 * Ice
 * Floor
 * Badminton
 * Dodgeball
 * Table Tennis
 * Tennis
 * Squash
 * Volleyball

My favourite sport is for sure hockey, I just can't seem to get enough of it. If I were better I would have loved to make it a career, but this class is way better anyway. I also spend too much time watching the Toronto Maple Leafs, but I wouldn't change it. One day the Stanley Cup will be ours, and I will be yelling "I told you so!"

Non-sports
Outside of sports you will find me on the computer or with friends. I enjoy a good movie, or a great joke. My favourite television shows include How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, Castle, and Modern Family.

I love listening to music or jamming with buddies. I'd enjoy jamming more if I didn't always get kicked out for lack of musical talent.
