 | T. Michael “Mike” Day is the creative director/designer and General Manager for MAX KING EVENTS based out of Orlando, Florida, and is enjoying some 40 years in successful special events and event production. Transitioning from a high profile career as a professional musician, Mike stepped into the event side by chance as he created specialty floats and props for the 1976 Orange Bowl Half-time show for NBC television. Beyond the musical scores he arranged for the King Orange Jamboree Parade and NBC, he was asked to design a couple of parade floats. The ball started rolling from there and transitioned into evening galas and specialty themed props.Today, he oversees what he calls “24,000 square feet of possibilities”, a warehouse “packed to the gills” with unique, innovative, and inventive décor concepts and designs, with more and more coming off the drawing board. And yes, Mike is your artist behind the Mikey of the Months! |
