Expertise

Data Privacy & AI Legal Expert, Digital Media Tech Maverick, Video Game Connoisseur

Mickey labels himself as a walking encyclopedia on all things data privacy, immersive technology, and AI-related.
He has been a video game connoisseur since childhood and still uses his very first console — the classic N64. His top three favorite N64 games will forever be "Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time," "Golden Eye," and "Super Smash Bros."
When he's not writing, Mickey travels to the farthest corners of the globe and uses the latest gadgets to maximize the adventure — from piloting a drone while paddle-boarding up and down the Chesapeake Bay to tinkering with GoPro cameras while skiing in the Alps.

Experience

Mickey has been deeply immersed in the unique intersection of law, technology, and media. Since his work as a member of TI:GER (Tech Innovations: Generating Economic Results) during his law school days, he has consulted with several tech start-ups on matters regarding SaaS Agreements, GDPR compliance, and AI governance. In 2023, he left the legal world and began writing articles in the digital media space, focused on topics such as drone videography, interactive media trends, and virtual reality. When not typing furiously at his keyboard after downing his third coffee, you can find Mickey playing jazz on his keyboard, out on a hike with his golden retriever, or explaining for the 100th time how "The Last Of Us" proves that video games are the superior medium for storytelling.

Education

Mickey graduated magna cum laude from Tulane University, double majoring in International Relations and Theater Performance. He also received his J.D. from Emory University School of Law, specializing in data privacy and intellectual property.
