Mike began his video career in 1999 in Hopkinsville, Kentucky as the public information officer for the Hopkinsville Police Department, where most of his time was spent in front of television cameras. He quickly became interested in the behind the scenes areas of television production, and learned how to edit his own weekly segments of the "Crime of the Week" which aired on local station WKAG 3. A friend asked Mike to video tape his wedding. One wedding turned into two, two turned into four, and soon a side hobby became "Any Occasion Video Productions". Mike relocated his family and business to the Pensacola Bay area in 2003, and "Mike Wood Productions" has been successful ever since. Mike received extensive video production training in Los Angeles and Orlando, and has since won local, national, and international awards for videos he has produced for the Pensacola Police Department, the Pensacola Regional Airport, and the Gulf Coast Crime Stoppers organization.
