Mike Shaw received his PHD from Columbia University and interned at Stanford where he eventual became a surgeon specializing in orthopedists. During a brilliant and successful career Mike took up fishing as a form of relaxation. While fishing at a local lake he saw a fellow angler catch a large bass on a wooden plug. This inspired Mike to take a different direction in his life. Mike gave up surgery, then purchased a lathe with the intention of building the best plugs in the world. Even though Mike is working more hours and making less money than his prior position he feels the work he is doing for the angling community is much more rewording.
