Bio<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n

Burnt out, yes-man, software engineer for tech giant Telecorp. Never quite climbed his way to the top, and second-guessing his career choices in the midst of yet another looming deadline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His life\u2019s work, Aetherlink, was released to the public far too early- while it had the potential to change human-digital connection forever, the risks were never properly assessed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The machine had to sustain itself somehow, and there have been rumblings of some disappearances in the city, raising suspicion about the true nature of Telecorp\u2019s founding. Mike resigned and is desperately trying to stop the spread of the monster he created. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Absolutely loves instant black coffee (he\u2019s a masochist). Mike is dating\u00a0Rosie<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
