Overview

I am a reenactor for famous historical characters and make a one presentation about theirs lives. I have portrayed Presidents Calvin Coolidge, FDR and Harry Truman and numerous 19th century figures. I also portray Benjamin Franklin and tell his life story with stories and pictures. I'm a bit too short to impersonate Abraham Lincoln, but I do a great William Herndon, Lincoln's law partner, and tell the real story behind the Lincoln assassination. My favorite person to portray is Thomas Edison. I tailored a presentation that emphasizes aspects of Edison's remarkable achievements and personality, bringing him to life. My presentation is informative, humorous and very entertaining.

Edison Impersonator Extraordinaire!

Mike is an excellent Edison impersonator! He really knows the key details about Thomas Edison's life and did additional research to fill in any gaps of knowledge for our specific event. He is so easy to work with and communicate with. We hope to work with him again in the future and highly recommend his services!

AWESOME!

Mike was very interesting and told the entire edition story, with a guided slide show "photo book" for guests to follow." Very entertaining and educational!
