Michael was born and raised in south Texas before moving to Dallas where he graduated with a film degree from the University of North Texas. During this time he worked a variety of cringe worthy jobs to pay the rent. He worked as a movie projectionist which was able to feed his appetite for compulsive movie watching. Spontaneously he did a lot of traveling and couch surfing until gravitating to Los Angeles like most small time film aficionados. He now works on different projects doing production assistant work as well as other odd jobs. He enjoys coffee, offbeat humor, and some other third thing. He spends a lot of time writing but currently has a loss for words. Some odd fun facts about Michael- He once won a chicken nugget eating contest and felt really gross afterwards. He owned sixty guinea pigs at one point in his life. His middle name is Scott.
