Powerful. Imaginative. Charming. Compassionate. Generous. He was meant to inspire. Born in Riverside, California, Michael has always relished in utilizing his imagination...

 

The son of an U.S. Navy veteran, the award-winning actor has lived in various places around the country: San Diego, South Carolina, Florida and Sacramento before finally landing in a suburban community in the state of Washington called Everett (just 30 miles or so North of Seattle) where the University of Washington graduate has developed into the man that you see today!

 

Whether it be through sports (his first "true love" was Basketball) or through his artistic-side (being writing stories at first -- at a young age, he would write and then share his stories with his mother). This solidified the notion that using his imagination as a career would happen. Michael believed that this imagination would lead him in inspiring people. Little did Michael know what would come to be decades later... 

 

Acting became his passion, dipping his feet into various theatre and film projects. He has been fortunate enough to work with such talented actors: Aaron Eckhart (The Dark Knight, In The Company of Men), Rider Strong (Shawn from "Boy Meets World"), and Tobey Maguire (Spider Man trilogy, The Great Gatsby).

 

For 3 years he has studied with one of LA's best acting teacher's and Yale-alumni, Gregory Berger Sobeck at The Berg Acting Studios.

 

Improving in his craft and gaining more experience is what Michael is focused on right now, while inspiring audiences in the process. As he continues on his journey, Michael would not have been able to reach it this far if not for the Love and Grace of God and his parents who constantly support his dreams.
