Mike Thompson was born in Anaheim,
California in 1973 where he currently
resides with his oldest of three children.
He has one son and two daughters from
his first marriage.

He was raised on a working Quarter horse
ranch in Placerville, California until he
started high school, at which time he
returned to southern California with his
father and step-mother. Mike served eight
years as a Seabee in the US Navy,
including a year in the Middle East during
Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Mike's higher education and career have
been focused in construction and
management for the past 20 years, but his
real interests are mental illness, stress
disorders, and the duality of man, which
are the subjects of the Wolf Magnussen
series and other projects in the works.

His other hobbies and interests include
karate and kung-fu, in which he holds a
black belt; hunting and shooting sports,
surfing, carpentry, landscape painting,
historical architecture, and archaeology.
