Born and raised in Waterloo, Ontario, Michael had the typical Canadian boyhood. You know, hockey player by age 3, his own ice rink in the backyard by age 4 (thanks again Dad), hockey fight by age 5 (sorry again about the stick to the head guys), and 6 a.m. hockey practices all the way through his school years (sorry about that Dad).
A life filled with sports led Michael to college for sports marketing. He graduated from the University of Waterloo in Recreation and Leisure Studies and then did his MBA at Wilfrid Laurier and went on to pursue his career in the U.S. Living in Atlanta, Georgia for many years as well as Europe led to work with The Olympic Games, The World Cup and other fun stuff like that.
This obviously led him to become an actor. Err, What? Yeah, well, life isn't always linear; it was time for a new, more creative direction. Michael started his acting career on the stage in Atlanta. Over the years he has studied with many of New York's finest acting coaches and enjoyed successes on the stage and screen in many independent movies, spots on soaps and commercials. When he's not touring with CAVEMAN he lives in Manhattan.
