"Cover to Cover Wonderment!"

"A must read, teacher or not"

"Beautifully written book about what teaching really is!  The real magic of successful teaching: compassion, authenticity and a true desire to see your students succeed in and out of the classroom. You don't need to be a teacher to learn something from this book!"


"Much more than a memoir, this is a nonjudgmental eyewitness account of American culture and our educational system."

"Humble, insightful, and refreshingly positive, the author even manages to build suspense into his well-crafted narrative, deftly engaging readers to root for his goals and hoping against hope that he doesn't give up the good fight. Required reading for anyone considering a career in teaching, for parents navigating the public school system, and for anyone who fondly remembers a teacher who took the time to notice and care."

"Honest, powerful, and unputdownable!"

"...pure gold for anyone who is in education, from teachers to administrators to custodians to parents to taxpayers. What makes it even better is Mike's talent as a writer. He knows how to turn a phrase and use metaphors to make his experiences relatable and memorable."

Mike is a career educator and first-time author

Through anecdotes from his 1980s childhood, '90s adolescence, and a teaching career that started at the turn of the millennium and continued through the pandemic, Teacher Boy pierces through mediocre teachers, opinionated onlookers, layers of bureaucracy, swarming technology, an expectant society, ego, and self-doubt.  Teacher Boy points to the potential all of us have to serve or fail one another on an idealistic quest to find the splendor in education...with a heavy dose of realism. domestically and abroad.  Teacher Boy is a personal and professional coming of age story.  In peddling information to others, he found universal truths in the students he treasured, and being their teacher finally allowed him to learn.

Teacher Boy was published in 2024 and debuted at #1 in multiple categories, was featured on CBS (Richmond), and can be found in some bookstores including Barnes and Noble (Mosaic). It's (still!) maintaining a five-star rating and has garnered staggering reviews from principals, parents, PTA presidents, and police, teachers and teenagers, health care workers, administrative assistants, and many more readers.  Teacher Boy is available for purchase below, as well as on Amazon (including for Kindle), barnesandnoble.com, and Goodreads.
