Mike is a corporate attorney with the regional law firm Steptoe & Johnson, PLLC. He serves on the Energy and Economic Development Committees of the West Virginia State Chamber of Commerce. Mike served as chairman of the Increasing Entrepreneurship Committee of a Vision Shared; in the latter capacity he was the architect of the “Blueprint for Entrepreneurship: A Strategy for Economic Development and Community Renewal.” Mike obtained more than $500,000 in funding for this committee through grants.
In 2005, Mike founded and served as publisher of West Virginia’s largest statewide business magazine, WVInc., a bi-monthly geared to growing companies. In 2006 he was designated by a panel organized by statewide business periodical State Journal as one of 40 persons in “Generation Next,” an effort to identify West Virginia’s next generation of leaders.

In 2007, Mike was selected to represent West Virginia and the United States as one of approximately 20 ambassadors to the American Swiss Foundation’s Young Leaders Conference in Switzerland.

Mike has a law degree from the Boston University School of Law and accounting and political science degrees from West Virginia University where he was named the College of Business and Economics Outstanding Graduating Student.

Mike was born in Philippi, West Virginia, and raised in Morgantown. After graduating from West Virginia University, Mike moved to Pittsburgh where he was an accountant for PricewaterhouseCoopers, an international accounting firm. After graduating from Boston University, Mike was a corporate attorney for K&L Gates, one of the ten largest law firms in the United States, in its Boston, Massachusetts office.

Mike, Katrina, Isabella and Audrey returned to West Virginia to begin the effort to fight for working folks, to rebuild West Virginia’s economy, and to create an economic environment where future generations of West Virginians can reside and thrive.
