Born at Women's College Hospital in Toronto Michael grew up in Ottawa, Ontario where he found acting at a young age as a great escape and a channel for his often rambunctious energy. A graduate of the drama program at Canterbury High School and the Theatre program at York University Michael chose to run away from the 'circus' and spent many years managing a full-time career in supply chain. He has recently started to venture back to his roots through the Peterborough Theatre Guild and Kawartha Lakes Film Industry and has plans to continue growing his repertoire of film credits.
