2003-2005 - Points System and Hiatus
In 2003 Mike joined KSL alongside Aaron Hughes. Mike did well the first few weeks but eventually fell and finished 5th overall that year. 2004 was another year for the point system. The points were close but towards the middle of the year Mike fell back and finished 7th overall. Mike decided to take the 2005 season off so he could rest up and come back strong in 2006.
2006-2009 - Championship and Playoff Run
In 2006 Mike returned to KSL. Mike started the season by winning 3 of his first 4 but went on a long losing streak and lost 8 of his next 10. Mike had a rough time with the new comer Doug Hahn who seemed to have his number all year long. However, Mike was able to hand Brian his only two losses that season. Mike was unable to make it past the first round in the playoffs and finished 8th overall.
For 2007 Mike had a mission of getting his championship. He had a good start at 5-2 but dropped his next 5 games. His final game of the season would determine if he would make it in or not and it was against his 2006 rival Doug. Mike was able to secure a win and took the 8th seed in the playoffs. He was able to defeat Brian in the first round and took out Blake in the next. The championship saw Mike vs former champion Dave Pate. Mike was able to beat him and gain his first championship.
