Mike appeared in numerous commercials, infomercials, and print ads (listed under "Other Works" on this IMDB page) Several of Michael's infomercials were dubbed into other languages, and shown in Europe, Central, and South America. His work was dubbed into German, Polish, Ukrainian, Dutch, Hungarian, and Spanish. Seven years later because of the support from Sheley, Katie Roland, and Peggy Sheffield he realized all his goals had not only been met but greatly surpassed. Mike then decided to shift the focus of his efforts on to the charitable works he finds so fulfilling.
