About Mike

About Me Born and raised in New Brunswick New Jersey, I attended high school at St Joseph in Metuchen and moved to Baltimore in 1989 to attend Loyola University. I graduated from Loyola with a degree in History and a minor in Political Science. Music has been a passion of mine since I was a youth and for the past 19 years I have enjoyed performing, recording, and touring with Baltimore based reggae group, Jah Works. Formed in the spring of 1993 with some of my closest friends, we have played over 2000 shows at home and abroad. The band is proud to be part of the Armed Forces Entertainment Network which provides entertainment for our troops stationed overseas. Through AFE we have played shows in Greenland, Korea, Japan, Singapore, Kwajalein, Diego Garcia, Kuwait, Djibouti, Bahrain, U.A.E and Saudi Arabia. The group has also performed in Jamaica, Holland, and Canada. Jah Works has recorded 9 albums to date. I am a resident of Charles Village and have called Baltimore home for almost 23 years. I would like to share with you what attracted me to joining the team at Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. Read more below and you will see all that we have to offer the informed real estate consumer. Pioneers The story of Coldwell Banker is one of leadership and success. Our rich history began in San Francisco in 1906 when much of the city was still in ruins from the 1906 earthquake. Downtown business practices were nearly as informal as they had been during the Gold Rush. Most telling of all, much of the city was still in ruins from the 1906 earthquake. During those hectic days of rebuilding, some unscrupulous businessmen sought financial gain through fraud and deception. Plain dealing was optional. Colbert Coldwell and Benjamin Arthur Banker saw an opportunity to distinguish themselves by offering honest, knowledgeable and competent real estate services, bringing much-needed integrity to the profession. The exceptional standards set by these real estate pioneers, who blazed a trail that the entire industry would eventually follow, remain the benchmark of today's Coldwell Banker.
