Mike is a self-described culture hacker and true pioneer at the intersection of the sharing economy, innovation ecosystems and urban revitalization. Although Mike has been working with IFTF as an affiliate since 2014, he recently accepted a fellowship to help uncover and study new paradigms for restoring vulnerable places and spaces, such as post-disaster sites, informal refugee settlements, and decaying urban neighborhoods. With particular interests in sustainability and urban tactical development, Mike has experience in challenging communities to rethink, redeploy, and redistribute underutilized resources where they are needed most.
