Michael has been published in fiction since 2001, over 20 years writing content and fiction, loves languages, Lounge and Deep House music, world cultures, and running 5Ks to Half Marathons with his wife and family.
He is formally trained in Organizational Behavior, Business Processes, Negotiation, Information Technology, Business and Project Management. Much of his experience goes into his writing.
He is a protector of children, a voice for those who have needs beyond their grasp, because no child should suffer when someone has the answer to improve their quality of life...especially if it is free.
He is an outspoken evangelist for the Scottish Rite and Shrine Hospitals whose services to children are at no charge to the family whatsoever. He helps raise money for The Ronald McDonald House, who houses families of sick children during treatment for free, in their annual 5/15K races.
Michael enjoys running. He is on the race and web committees for the Citizens Development Center (Achieve - A Place to Grow), whose work to serve adults with mental and physical disabilities is beyond reproach.
Michael is also a veteran of the US Air Force. He enjoys helping veterans find camaraderie and friendship with other veterans through non-profit organizations like Team RWB with his role as volunteer athletic coordinator.
His likes to write fiction novels in the thriller genre, focusing on technology, historical, and military sub-genres.
