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.
