Mike Goodwin is a refreshingly funny comedian, speaker, and
leader. His signature bowtie is a nod to his expectation-defying
brand of comedy that leaves a variety of audiences - from corporate
events to swanky galas - laughing hysterically and completely
inspired, without a foul or vulgar word spoken.
A native of Camden, South Carolina, Mike was raised in a family
that had its share of dysfunction. He learned at an early age how
to use laughter to pierce through tension and in some cases, ease
pain. As a result, he developed an affinity for comedy and used it
as a way to cope through difficult situations he faced as a
child.
After graduating from high school, Mike enlisted in the United
States Army, where he served for a total of 12 years - four in
active duty, and the balance as an ROTC cadet and commissioned
officer in the U.S. Army Reserves. While attending college at
Lander University in Greenwood, SC, he became active on campus and
honed his leadership skills by serving as a campus ambassador,
hosting events, and joining his fraternity, Kappa Alpha
Psi.
