Mike Kapovage grew up in Buffalo and Rochester. He is a graduate of Fairport High and RIT. Michael is an award-winning map illustrator, designer, and principal of Karpovage Creative, Inc. Many of you might have heard of his first mystery thriller Crown of Serpents featuring a Freemason military historian on a treasure hunt set in Western New York. He has since published a highly popular 3-book series. Think National Treasure meets Indiana Jones. He’ll be speaking at the College about his research that has led him to unearth many stories of enemy Masons saving each other on the battlefield. Michael is a member of Fidelity-Hobasco Lodge No. 716 in Ithaca, NY, but has lived in sunny Roswell, Georgia where he does not even own a snow shovel.
