First of all I’ve to admit that Mike Bite is not my real name, at least it’s not exactly how my family used to call me when I was little boy. My real ‘Swiss’ name is Michael Bissig, but since some of my friends had trouble saying that, I started to become Mike Bite.

but who's this guy Mike?

I’m a 32-year-old expert in new technology and aspiring internet entrepreneur currently based in Zürich, Switzerland. I’ve a passion for new media and sports, and I’m always looking for opportunities to make a positive impact with my abilities as a photographer, web designer and fitness instructor.

a short FAQ about Mike

Where do you come from?

I live in a small village by the lake of Zurich in beautiful Switzerland. To get into the city takes me only about 20 minutes, but I’m also in less than 30 minutes in some of the most beautiful Swiss mountains, where I can ski or ride my bike. There’s really no better place to live and that’s why I keep the exact location a secret :-).

What are your interests?

I definitely have way too many interests, here’s a list (no specific order): Great design, biking, Web 2.0, USA, movies, presentations, web design, Apple, crime stories, traveling, photography, U2 (the band), skiing, Los Angeles, podcasts, Michael Connelly, Italian food, DVDs, Body Pump, Linux, productivity, 24 (US-Series), weight training, Canada, W.E.B. Griffin, Formula One, blogging, home entertainment, Body Combat, graphic design, Karate, architecture and much more.
Do you see what I mean?!

How do you keep fit?

I work out 3 to 4 times a week. Twice a week I go out for a run, in addition I join the gym where I do some work-out with free weights or join one of the many Body Pump lessons. “Use it or lose it”, that’s my philosophy. For good physical and mental health, we’ve to push both our bodies and our brains.
