Mike was into off-roading before YouTube or Instagram existed. As a son of an Army Veteran, he spent his youth rolling through the mountains of California, Colorado, and Hawaii, tinkering with his vehicles to make them even more capable after each return trip. He learned the skills necessary to survive the harsh terrains by diving in and getting his hands dirty. Mike began documenting his adventures and sharing them for the world to see. His YouTube channel, Last Line of Defense, offers instruction and inspiration to an army of subscribers who are just itching for a reason to head for the mountains.
