Michael attended Wendell Phillips High School. He worked in the customer service for many years and was known for his candor and willingness to help others, to know him was to love him. Playing softball was one of Michael's most enjoyable pleasures. He was always the life of the party in any setting and was known for his comedic personality, often purging a good laugh out of you. Bringing laughter out of others brought him joy, and seeing a smile on their face would bring him even more joy. Michael loved to talk a lot of trash and knew how to get you back in line if you needed to be straightened out.
