What’s your Story?
Mike grew up in Mississauga, Ontario and has been on the move ever since! He moved to England, where he completed high school, then back to London, Ontario where he received a Bachelor of Managerial and Organizational Studies from the University of Western Ontario. Following graduation, Mike spent a few months living in Utah, riding with the state’s top pro snowboarders and spending some time with his family. Recently, Mike has moved back to Ontario and currently lives in Toronto where he manages a photo department and travels North America as a photographer, graphic designer and web editor for an event photo and video company. But Mike’s work week is never over! On the weekend, Mike shoots weddings and pro snowboard events. Check out some of his work in the gallery below and at www.mikelastphoto.com. Mike has also traveled to some amazing places including Whistler, Temagami, Montreal, Vermont, New York City, Moab, England, Spain, France and Italy!
Mike got the dreaded ‘betes when he was in grade nine, and became a camper at Camp Huronda the following summer. Mike stuck with Huronda where he worked as a CIT, a Counsellor, the Boating staff and ran the Bikes area (while shooting some amazing photographs and developing a beautiful Camp Huronda website on the side!).
When asked what the coolest thing he’s done with diabetes, Mike replied that you don’t need to have diabetes to do cool stuff! In other words, Mike was going to get out there and do what he loves, whether he had got diabetes or not! Among the amazing things that Mike has done include photographing some really cool people (The Tragically Hip, Rick Mercer, NHL hockey) and some breathtaking places (Utah and Algonquin park to name just a few)! Mike has also been responsible for building both of Connected in Motion’s (beautiful) websites.

In his free time, Mike enjoys snowboarding, Mountain Biking, Canoe Tripping and shooting photos for himself.
