MIKE McDONALD

THE BIG MAC

Mike “Big Mac” McDonald is known for his cat like prowess , agile as a trained ballerina, and gets the work of two people done without anyone ever hearing or seeing him… a true logistical ninja. At first glance Big Mac looks like an intimidating, hardened special warfare operator, but in fact is a truly soft spoken teddy bear that you wouldn’t think twice about inviting over for a family dinner.
