Introduction
I am a certified Mixologist from the Bartender School of America in College Park, MD. I also have the Training for Intervention ProcedureS (TIPS) certification. My experience with bartending consists of doing events through Thumbtack and BarMasters Mobile Bartending such as parties, corporate happy hours, weddings, and more. I also worked as an on-call for the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington DC before the pandemic closed that down, and TGIFridays in Columbia, Maryland and Alexandria, Virginia. Along with bartending, I am a versatile freelancer skilled in graphic design, video editing, and UI design. With a background in customer service and IT, I bring a unique blend of creativity and problem-solving to every project. If you are interested, let's connect.

Where do I even start! Mike was a great bartender for our daughter’s baptism reception. He showed up on time (earlier actually) HUGE plus! We went over our drink menu a week before. He helped setup and clean up even though he didn’t have to. Hire him for your next event!
