Mike Fitzgerald, a very colorful character and twenty five year veteran high school theater teacher, grew up on the streets of Jersey and can sound the part at will. As a young boy, Mike was heavily exposed to theater and the arts by his godfather. He lived six blocks from Yankee Stadium and was a huge Yankees fan. He talks about pocketing his lunch money and skipping class to catch a game with his idol Micky Mantle. Mike's passion has been teaching and he has been touted and recognized as one of the premiere high school theater teachers in The Rogue Valley. Mike is no stranger to to both acting and story telling as he has had many of his short stories published in a variety of magazines around the country and played a variety of parts in film and television. He has a fantastic presence and is always willing to lend a hand. Mile is happily married to a wonderful woman and lives a pretty great life in Ashland, Oregon as a substitute teacher. He has some great stories to share on the show. I'm honored to be considered his friend.
