I graduated Summa Cum Laude as Valedictorian with a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Production from Full Sail University. There are too many people to list who have helped me get to this moment, but I, of course, have to thank my incredible rock of a wife and life partner, Kelsey, my children Mikey & Gracie, who inspire me to be the best version of myself for them, and our family support system who joined me on the trip down to the Orlando area to be a part of my graduation festivities. I’m incredibly proud of my personal growth over the last 24 months. During my degree program, we welcomed Grace into the world, I had major surgery followed by shedding 175 lbs, worked full-time with my usual clients, and helped raise two toddlers, all while maintaining a 3.99 GPA. I finally feel like I’m beginning to realize my full potential as a person and it makes me so excited for what’s possible in the future. Cheers! 🍻

I’ve literally never posted a mirror selfie in my life, but damn, it’s so amazing to finally feel good in my own body. Down 100lbs since June, down 150lbs since I was at my biggest. Life is so much better in every imaginable way. I’m 37, but I feel like I’m 17. || #NotSoBigMike • • #weightloss #health #mirrorselfie #joy

Six years ago today I was enjoying the charming village of Bad Münstereifel in the hills of western Germany, not far from the Belgian border while working with @spiritof52_rastede during @drum_corps_europe_official Finals Week. • It was such an honor to be working with Spirit again this season virtually and I’ll be rooting them on this weekend from here at home! || Bad Münstereifel, Germany

NFC CHAMPIONS ONCE AGAIN 🦅 #FLYEAGLESFLY || #ITSAPHILLYTHING

Wonderful night at the Crystal Tea Room celebrating the marriage of @sarahkaile & @franciscogerace! @masqueradelive was fantastic as always and it felt great to get dressed up and have a night out with our friends (thanks to @ruditux for helping me look and feel great!) Congratulations to the Geraces!

Forgot to post the pics from when we won the damn thing || Philadelphia, PA

Awesome night at the Otho Davis Scholarship Foundation Awards Dinner celebrating Dick Vermeil’s Pro Football Hall of Fame induction and Ray Didinger’s ODSF Dick Vermeil Lifetime Achievement Award. Pro Football Hall-of-Famers Harold Carmichael & Harry Carson were in attendance, along with Ron Jaworski, Merrill Reese, and a ton of other Philadelphia Eagles players & personnel past & present, plus local Philadelphia sports media personalities, including Joe DeCamara as M.C. A huge thank you to Uncle Ed Mackin for arranging the evening for us!

Grace Murphy Bishop arrived at 3:27pm on Thursday, 9-15-2022 via c-section at 8 lbs, 4 oz and 20” long. Both Mom & our Gracie girl are doing great! Everything went super smooth and the operating team at Pennsylvania Hospital was amazing. Kelsey is such a trooper. We couldn’t be happier or more in love with our daughter.♥️

Was great to see ol’ Benny finally let out of his cage for the Jubilee || Westminster, London 🇬🇧

Just realized I never posted one of my favorite photos from my last trip to Japan. I snapped this shot three years ago today at the Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto, which dates back to 711 CE and is famous for it’s one-thousand torii gates ⛩ || Kyoto 🇯🇵

We had such a great time getting dolled up & dapper for the @quakercity_stringband 100th Anniversary Gala. @bobkellyfox29 was an excellent MC (as usual), and the @cityrhythm_bvtlive was a 10/10. The committee folks did a tremendous job putting the evening together. • Many thanks to Rudi’s Formal Wear for dressing me to the 9s. I needed all the help I could get trying to match the beauty by my side. • I feel honored to be able to say I’m a part of an organization with such a storied history. Here’s to 100 more!

A little bit of news: Kelsey & I are expecting baby Bishop #2 in September! The lemon Mikey's holding represents the size his baby brother/sister has grown to this week 🍋👶🏼 We’re so pumped!

Had a BLAST getting the band back together yesterday with @quakercity_stringband! • So thankful to have finally joined this club. This was probably my 18th or 19th time in the Mummers Parade in some capacity since 1993. Over the years, I’ve been a comic, a wench, and have volunteered as a marshal for two string bands and yesterday was easily the most fun I’ve ever had. • Already looking forward to next year!

Mikey got his first haircut today! It was definitely time and he did great. We took him to my neighborhood barbershop, @kinship_barber_lounge, and my regular barber and one of the best out there, Nate @phaded_215 was patient & gentle and did a perfect job with Mikey. Mikey’s first birthday party is Saturday and he turns 1-year old on Sunday! Big week!

Happy Halloween from the Bishops! 👨‍🌾🐷🐔🐮

Drove a boat yesterday. It was awesome. 🛥
