FIRE Adds Office Administrator Mike Maggiore to Staff

This week, FIRE is introducing Torch readers to some great new staffers. Today, we’d like you to meet our new office administrator, Michael Maggiore.
Mike graduated from the University of New Orleans in 2009 with a B.A. in Film & Communications. In 2011, he moved to New York City and began working full-time for an Emmy-winning production and post-production house. During his five-year span at the company, he worked his way up from office assistant to post-production coordinator.
In the fall of 2015, Mike decided that he wanted to transition careers and found his way to Philadelphia and FIRE.
Mike is an avid fan of comedy, politics, and film. A deep love of artistic expression is what initially drew him to the mission of FIRE, and he’s proud to work with an organization that fights for individual rights. In his spare time, Mike can be found at yard sales looking for tchotchkes, watching hilariously bad and incredibly good films, or drawing illustrations.
Welcome to FIRE, Mike!
