Born in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, he had a typical upbringing in then Rhodesia, excelling at rugby and cricket at school, only taking up golf at the late age of 28 and then turning professional at 36. Became well known in the golfing fraternity through his performances on the Safari Tour and in 1996 finished third in the All African rankings. During this time and until 2002, he contributed much back into the game in Zimbabwe, being President of the Zimbabwean PGA and getting ‘Honorary Life Membership’ when he left for South Africa in 2002. Arriving in South Africa, Mike joined Reading Golf Club in Johannesburg as Golf Director and joined the South African PGA, which gave him the chance to compete on the Sunshine Tour. In November 2005 he entered the European Seniors Tour School and finished 16th out of 300, which earned him a conditional card to the 2006 Tour. Subsequently finished in the top 100 in the Order of Merit and is aiming to improve on that in 2007.
