Career

Mike Fitzgerald started designing games shortly after Magic: The Gathering came out in 1993.[1] His first design was the trading card game Wyvern, which was published by U.S. Games.[1] This resulted in a contract with Wizards of the Coast to do more designs, including the Nitro (WCW wrestling) and X-Men trading card games.[1] He has worked for Pokémon USA, helping to put together the pre-constructed decks that are sold with every Pokémon expansion.[1] Fitzgerald is also the designer of the Mystery Rummy series.[1]

Fitzgerald also has a long and successful radio career as an on-air personality.[1]
