BIO
Mike (or to most, just “Nuget”) has decided to branch out on his own, taking along with him all the knowledge and experiences he's had for over 23 years, offering expertise in color grading, editorial finishing, and visual effects, and is ready to help bring your project to the finish line.
Nuget was a member of the PostWorks team in New York from 2005 - 2018. While there, he applied his skills to television, film, and documentaries, including the FX series “The Americans”, Netflix's docu-series “Rotten”, ABC drama “Quantico”, TV Land’s “Younger”, PBS documentary series “Soundbreaking – Stories from the Cutting Edge of Recorded Music”, & the Academy Award Nominated short, “Edith & Eddie” and countless other projects.
Since breaking out on his own in 2018 and creating his company MayDay Post, Inc, he has had much success picking up new clients as well as continuing past relationships with some of his long time clients. All the while continuing to work on new projects for Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, HBO and numerous Film Festivals.
Nuget began his career at Rhinoceros Editorial in 2003. Among his first credits was on Michael Moore’s ground-breaking documentary Fahrenheit 9/11. Since then, Mike has worked in virtually every picture genre – from commercials and promos, to reality and network television, to narrative and documentary films – and has honed a diverse skill set across multiple platforms, including DaVinci’s Resolve, Filmlight’s Baselight, AVID & some Autodesk Flame work. Mike’s versatility has secured him strong relationships with vendors around the globe, particularly AVID, Filmlight & CineXtools, for whom he has spearheaded several presentations, at both NAB & IBC, demonstrating workflows he helped create alongside these industry leaders.
On the personal side of things, Mike loves to travel, literally flying around the world twice on trips to his heritage country of Thailand, driving across the U.S. a few times, and wherever else planes, trains & automobiles may take you! Mike is also an avid snowboarder whose love for the winter sport has taken him to over 50 different resorts across the U.S., Europe, Canada, and beyond.
