Mike spent most of his childhood traveling with his father, a bull rider in a rodeo show. Sadly, his father developed prostate cancer and had to retire from his job; which resulted in the family falling on hard times. After Mike graduated from community college, he took up a job as a welder to help pay for his father's medical bills, but it wasn't enough to get his family out of debt; their financial problems got steadily worse after his father lost his battle with cancer.

Mike joined Mann Co. as a last resort to keep his family from losing their home. While going through Engineer training, Mike started to develop health problems and after going through several tests, it was discovered that he had developed the very cancer that claimed his father's life. Mike underwent several rounds of chemotherapy while still going through training and was able to beat back his cancer, but was told that it could come back. Despite this, Mike remained optimistic about his situation; even after he had a Life-Extender (the Mark 5 one in the TF2 comics) implanted into his right hand, making him the first Mann Co. mercenary to be implanted with such a device (albeit, for medical reasons).

Mike was viciously bullied by the last team he was on, due to his health and because he's bisexual. The bullying got so bad that Mike had to resort to requesting a transfer to another team while his teammates were out drinking one night. Thankfully, Mike's request was granted and he was moved to 2Fort, where he met Tai & her team; he's refrained from telling them he's bi because he's scared of how they'll react, but they DO know about his Life-Extender implant (he keeps it hidden under his glove).

Despite his friendly and easy-going nature, Mike is very cautious about meeting new people and doesn't fully trust someone until they "show their true colors" as he puts it (though he doesn't openly show it).

This is one of my newer OC's and the first bio I've made for him. The part with the Life-Extender is non-canon and is in no way related to the TF2 comics.
Mike's eye's are golden hazel, but the lighting makes it hard to see his eye color (had similar problems with this iris color texture pack in other pictures).
