The Armchair Historian

Historical review
Miked worked as the production director for The Armchair Historian until its closure. He oversaw all parts of production and was actively involved in video's creation. Mike was essential to keeping the channel running, without him it would not have been possible to produce content at the rate and quality we were. Mike is highly conscientious and creative, an excellent leader, and a great friend.
