Mike McCoy

Chief Executive Officer & Creative Director, Bandito Brothers

The founder of Bandito Brothers was “born on a motorcycle.” Receiving a bike for his first birthday, Mike “Mouse” McCoy dropped his training wheels at age three and started racing at age four. From this early start, Mr. McCoy matured into one of the most successful motorcycle racers of his generation, winning multiple championships, most notably the legendary Baja 500 and Baja 1000.

After a string of injuries took their toll, Mr. McCoy retired from professional racing to pursue a career in the film industry. He spent years working in almost every capacity for the legendary director Joe Pytka. Eventually transitioning from production into stunts, he quickly became one of the top stuntmen in the film industry, working with notable directors such as Tony Scott, Rob Cohen, and John McTiernan.

In 2004, Mr. McCoy leveraged his experiences in the film industry by producing and starring in the critically acclaimed feature film “Dust to Glory.” He has gone on to produce and direct many other film and commercial projects.

Paralleling his racing and film success, Mr. McCoy also has a distinguished career as an entrepreneur and executive. In 2002, he founded technology firm Sample Digital, Inc. Sample Digital has grown to become a premier provider of digital media software and encoding services to Disney, Sony, Universal, Paramount, Intel, Microsoft, Movielink, and many others. In 2007, Sample Digital consummated a roll-up transaction, whereby it has become the largest single provider of digital dailies, encoding and production workflow services for the Television and Film industry.

Building on his success with Sample Digital, and his knowledge of the film and technology industries, Mr. McCoy is an initial founder of Secure Path Technology LLC, a cutting edge technology concern that is the first commercial ISAN registration agency in North America. Secure Path’s position as the exclusive registration agency makes it primed to be the standard bearer for facilitating the exchange of data between studios and content distributors.

Mr. McCoy brings his vast experiences as a successful racer, stuntman, producer, director and technology entrepreneur to Bandito Brothers, a full service media solution that creates, produces, manages and distributes audio visual content.
