Mike received his BS in Biology from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2015. He stuck around Richmond for an extra five years and graduated with his Ph.D. in Microbiology and Immunology in the spring of 2020, studying the pathogenicity of gonorrhea. Easily the most dramatic and uproarious of the bunch, Mike is a connoisseur of the craft beer scene. We edit him so much and he’s still 80% of the audio.
