Hey I’m Mike. I was supposed to be the 5th-generation Behrends to take over the family farm but then I chose a life of letters, ending the succession. These are the stakes I bring to the table.

I am currently a creative director at Arts & Letters Creative Co. Previously I was a CD at Fallon on Arby’s. I’ve worked in-house and at agencies on brands like Target, Buffalo Wild Wings, H&R Block, Entenmann’s, the Minnesota Timberwolves, and Trolli, plus some bonus work with Pusha T, Old Spice, and ESPN SportsCenter by way of ✨𝔟𝔯𝔞𝔫𝔡𝔢𝔡 𝔭𝔞𝔯𝔱𝔫𝔢𝔯𝔰𝔥𝔦𝔭𝔰✨
