Growing up in Springboro, Ohio, Michael spent every spare moment of his time filming movies and skits with his childhood friends. But it took him 5 years after relocating with his family to Michigan, during his senior year at Utica High School, to gather enough nerve to audition for the schools fall musical, “ Oklahoma.” He successfully landed a role and was overwhelmed by the camaraderie involved in putting a show together.

Officially bitten by the acting bug, Michael spent the next 6 years performing in front of sold out audiences in theaters throughout Southeastern Michigan, as he performed in over 30 plays and musicals. He won numerous awards, like the "Gypsy Robe" for his portrayal of Ellard Simms, a slow minded Southern boy, in Larry Shue's "The Foreigner."

In addition to his on stage performances, Michael was involved in various local films in the Detroit area, having roles that would place him in front of and behind the camera, satisfying his eagerness to learn all aspects of filmmaking.

At age 19, he landed the lead role of Patrick Hill, a recovering heroin addict who had contracted aids, in the gritty film "After April."

After being cast in 4 additional local films, Michael was chosen to play the character Brad, a supporting role in the movie “The Retreat,” Produced by Bob Brown,(Jeff Daniel's partner at Purple Rose Films) which is slated for release in the near future.

He also recently starred in a short film called "Suck", directed by Ben Ketai of Ghost House Pictures; as well as co-wrote/acted/produced/directed various short films and a web series titled "Paranormal, Burbank", which can currently be seen all over the internet.

Also a writer, Michael watched his first full length play "The Scene With the Large Man," (which he also produced and directed), come to life when it premiered in Eastpointe, Michigan in June of 2005. Later in that same month, “Aisle Two” a one act play that he wrote, was performed off Broadway at The Sargent Theatre in New York City.

He has recently completed numerous screenplays, including "In Between Fading," the story of a man who learns to appreciate what he takes for granted in life after befriending an eleven year old girl dying of cancer: "Shooting Blanks," a dark comedy about three out of luck filmmakers who rob liquor stores and video tape it, with the intent of making "the best documentary ever made for Sundance."
