Mike started playing the piano at the age of 4. One Summer night, Mike's parents brought home an old piano that they purchased at an auction. The very next day, his mom woke up to the sound of the piano being played from the other room. She recognized the tune and quickly jumped out of bed and found to her surprise, her 4 year old son Mike, sitting at the piano, playing a primary song he learned at church. Over the years, Mike has come to believe that his natural ability to "play by ear" is a God given gift and blessing in his life, His joy in playing the piano comes especially as he shares his music with others. Mike is the Father of 4 energetic and fun loving kids. He currently lives in Long beach Ca and is owns his own Construction Business (https://www.hardeytile.com/).
