Mike Fischetti

Mike Fischetti (b. 6 August 1983 in Destin, Florida) is a presenter on the children's television show SMart, screened on CBBC.

Career to date

In May 2003 he graduated from Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia with a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Design and quickly put his talents to use as a props and set designer for theatre and TV. He moved to the UK where between 2005 and 2007 he worked behind the scenes on BBC Children's programmes such as Xchange, Tops of the POPS Reloaded, Mighty Truck of Stuff, Level Up and TMi.

When the SMart team were looking for someone to present a feature based around America, Mike seemed the obvious choice. His role on the show grew into a regular feature in which he was presented with challenges to create works of art in a short time frame. Having quickly built up a good on-screen rapport with Kirsten O'Brien and Mark Speight, he was asked to take over the main co-presenter's role following the death of the latter in 2008, fronting the new series with Kirsten.
