Mike is a native of Houston, Texas and the brother of Brian Orakpo. In high school, he earned All-District honors as a junior and senior. He was also named one of the Top 20 linebackers in Texas. Mike was a Division 1 athlete, attending both Colorado State and Texas State University. At Colorado State, he played a key role on a top defense as a sophomore and earned Third-Team All-Mountain West Conference honors. While attending Texas State his junior year, Mike earned All Sun Belt Conference Second Team honors and was elected team captain. During his senior year campaign, Mike was listed as the #10 Linebacker in the country and was apart of Fox Sports Best LineBacker Duo in the nation, before his season ending injury. Mike’s record breaking seasons earned him the honor of being named the number 4 freak in the nation by Fox Sports. Mike wasn’t only known for his helmet flying hits on the field, but also as a true workout warrior. Off the field you could find him mentoring his peers and helping them reach their on-field goals. Mike received his Bachelor’s degree in Economics. In 2015, he was the Assistant Football Coach (linebackers) at St. Pius X High School. It was his love and passion for seeing people achieve their fitness goals that birthed InnerGrind. From 2016 to 2019, Mike operated InnerGrind as founder and CEO. Mike has since opened a new venture, Orakpo Performance, started in 2019, and is the head business coach at LifeChanger Academy since 2018. In 2018, Mike started pursuing his dream of a means for athletes and coaches to connect and Athlete Connect was born. In 2018, he became the CEO & Founder of Athlete Connect to carry out his mission of offering one-on-one private sports coaching to athletes by qualified coaches.  

Who doesn’t love cupcakes?  That’s the thought that former NFL stars Michael Griffin and Brian Orakpo had one day as they enjoyed some tasty treats.  Griffin and Orakpo both spent part of their professional football careers playing for the Tennessee Titans, which is where the original Gigi’s Cupcakes was located. So when the time came to move on from professional football, the pair was ready to enter the entrepreneurial world.  They joined forces with their college friend Bryan Hynson and together, they trio became “The Cupcake Guys."

Football players make the news for the games they play, the money they make. Some football players keep their money parlaying their salaries in to dough, others parlay it in to cupcake dough, Gigi cupcake dough to be exact, like Tennessee Titans Brian Orakpo and former Tennessee Titans safety Michael Griffin. Football players like Michael Strahan take their talent on to morning TV with Sarah Haines and even suit lines like Michael's line for JC Penney that clothed the legends commercial seen during the Superbowl. Rams, football player Ndamukong Suh took his dough game to the max with Warren Buffett. And then there are the Leonard Davis story that breaks our heart, mine morseso seeing the fibs of FINRA and the SEC hit his case...
