Born in Chandler, Arizona, in the year of the dragon. Chosen by the gods to be the runt in a traveling band of gypsies. Spent his youth in Arizona, Texas, Virginia, Germany and the cold university towns of Michigan. Early years marked by a mammoth collection of Gi-Joes, He-Man figures, a Huffy bike, a wardrobe full of hand-me-down rayon shirts, and the perfect, concrete hair-wave.
Bestowed with honors by his high school theatre classes and, it should be noted, the recipient of several competitive acting awards. To his dismay, these stellar achievements were overshadowed by a few lowly weekend football games. Vowing revenge and armed with a video camera, Michael took refuge in a series of epic claymation movies and one-man garage performances which await an official Penta Works release.
Travelled the byways America in a cramped yet homey pull-camper, hoping to find himself, but instead found several great locations for deliberate isolation. Took a brief repose in Michigan, where he studied theater, graphic illustration, and design while starring as a book store guy, a temp, a waiter, and a painter.
