Mike lives in Hanover, New Hampshire but is a home-grown Yinzer from the 412. Mike’s also a Steelers fanatic who recently earned a Ph.D. in Behavioral Psychology. In his free time he loves to search for Steelers and Pittsburgh collectibles. He also enjoys watching the Buccos and Pens and spending time outdoors.

When talking sports, Mike likes to filter Steelers news through analytics and the science of behavioral economics. Mike likes to get data from fans about their perceptions and opinions of Steelers topics ranging from off-season transactions to in-game coaching decisions. He is also interested in taking a scientific approach to assessing the quality of decisions the Steelers make during and between games. With these ideas, Mike decided he wanted to contribute to a Steelers website. After having trouble finding any site that was both intellectual and accessible, he stumbled upon Joe and Brian on the SCU Podcast, and knew he found the one!
