A graduate of CUNY Queens College, Mike held key positions at innovative technology organizations (like Infonautics and Verity), supported small entrepreneurial entities as they faced the challenges of burgeoning success (like Knite), and played a major role at CDNOW as it moved to the forefront of Internet commerce technology.
