Mick has been playing footy since he was 4 years old.  In his younger days growing up in Australia he played Victorian TAC Cup football at Toora in South Gippsland.  He was Head Coach at the Tokyo Goannas in Japan for multiple seasons.  For the last two years Mick has been helping out as one of the volunteer coaches, keeping a close eye on his two daughters Summer and Zoe, who are enthusiastic Sharks participants.  Outside of football Mick runs a Language Centre for Adults and Kids learning English as a second language.  Mick follows Carlton in the AFL (the President stopped reading his CV at that particular point and shook hands).
