Mike was born on July 15, 1944, as Michael Stanton Jeffries. His zodiac sign is Cancer.
He was born in Oklahoma.
Mike began his career with Abercrombie & Fitch in 1992. He transformed the company’s image, which revitalized the brand after it had faced bankruptcy in 1976. In a 2006 interview with Salon, he said, “In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and there are the not-so-cool kids. Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive, all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends.”
He remained with the company until 2014.
