Mike Bennett:  

Life Over the years I’ve lived in Miami (twice) and Fort Lauderdale, both work related. I had quite a long European stint a few years back. I call Orlando, Florida my home. It allows me to do everything I could imagine. After being away from time to time, it’s always a good feeling to return to FL. That’s when you know you’re home. It's like vaca all the time. I do get to NJ a few times a year to spend time with my family and friends with whom I still keep in contact. Ironically, I’ve maintained the same friendships most of my life. My brothers included. I own my own Design Company. I say “Design” company because it’s quite varied. Graphic, some internet, advertisement… everything inspired by the Euro trends and the fashion moguls I worked for. (And of course Mrs. Cazzola and Ms. Rose - HS Art… probably the only thing besides my horses that motivated me back then) I also design stages and stage sets set for concerts, shows, and several recording artists who shall remain nameless. Name dropping is so... 5 years ago. LOL. I got involved in set design and production after performing on quite a few ugly stages… I opened my mouth, as I tend to do, and here I am now. I still work for Universal Orlando but on a very different level. I work in entertainment every once in while for a seasonal run of a show. I “Fah Who For Azed” through Whoville in the Grinch who stole Christmas…I was Simon Scowell in Universal Mardi Gras Idol and brutally tortured guests who gave their BAD talents to receive a 10 cent strand of beads… Good Times! I was recently a production supervisor for the Ellen Degeneres Show taped here in April. I’m currently in the early stages of opening another business, one that will afford me the paycheck with minimal involvement. Minimal invlovement, It’s a stretch for me. I am designing the space, though. Maybe I’ll write a movie, maybe I’ll go on tour… or anything else I haven’t tried. (giving birth is not an option). That’s about it for now. I’d love to hear from some old friends and/or enemies. NO grudges here. If you go this far, take care! MJB I’m working on the picture thing! I seem to be one of the few who has actually filled this thing out. and god forbid.. posted a picture...I hope more do... Does it get me off the hook if I dont make the reunion? :) College After ...Expand for more
