Mike Melanson was born and raised in the small town of Quispamsis, New Brunswick, Canada. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Carleton in Ottawa, Ontario, resulting in a massive influx of expendable cash. He has lived, loved and laughed in Montreal, Quebec since 2013. Mike lives off a mainly cereal diet (his favourite food) and would likely die of scurvy were it not for his lovely partner.
