Always wanting to avoid a life dedicated to deference, Mike Becker wasn’t likely to be a lifer Marine. He wasn’t likely to pull up a chair in a cubicle and just get by. The Russian-born paired his deeply rooted creative passion with a curiosity for business and a knack for making shit happen. 

From a simple copywriting job to running a full-scale web-dev business, Mike continues to impress as an outstanding mentor - although if he had it his way, the trainee would try and fail and then start over.
