My story starts out in 1972 when I was born to Michael & Linda Wilkerson. My mother was a striving musician and my father had just come home from a tour in Vietnam. Soon after my life would take a turn for the worse as I was dying. My mother prayed to God to save my life. She even wrote a song about it called "Sunshine Boy". As the story goes, I would live to be 48 years old to this point. I have
been through a lot in my life. My father passed away 3 weeks before I graduated from high school. It would devastate me in many ways including drinking a lot, lots of drugs, and eventually jail. I would make it out the other side around 1995 when I met my first wife. We were together for 6 years and got a divorce in 2001. In 2003 I would find my amazing wife of today Hope. She graced me with two children Kayla and Dakota. It was then I realized I was happy with my life. I had finally found the family I always wanted. I would go on to have my own record label, successful website that I still have to this day & my own stage at Rocklahoma 2008. In 2009 my brother overdosed on a fentanyl patch and my life was torn apart again. It took 3 years for me to come out of the dark state I was in. In 2010 I worked for a distribution company for a short time and was able to go to SXSW in Austin, TX. I found by writing for my website Blastzone Online helped me cope with the death of my brother. My wife mentioned Facebook live one day while in the hospital, and I thought about it and decided to go for it, so on January 1st. 2017, I did my first Facebook live. Blastzone Mike's Facebook Live show was born and the rest is history. I am in my 4th, year of Facebook live, I have done over 10,000 Facebook Live shows, interviewed over 1,500 people and I am still going strong. The next chapter in my life is taking my show to ROKU, Blastzone Mike's Incredible Show "One Interview And Adventure At A Time". I will have 14 Episodes for the 1st Season, including 2 Bonus Episodes. I am excited for this next chapter and hope you join us.
