Born and raised in Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan, Michael grew up in the 80s with very little parental supervision which led to his love for cult movies that were often shown on USA: UP ALL NIGHT. Michael found hobbies such as creative story writing, paranormal investigating, and very early stages of filmmaking with his mini DV camcorder. He began video editing after obtaining his first summer job in 1998. He completed his very first short film, "Killer Kabbage" in 2011. He released his first documentary in 2021 titled "A Haunting in Hinsdale" after documenting a paranormal investigation at the historic Hinsdale House in New York. Michael began production on his first feature-length film: a re-imaging of his first short film, "Killer Kabbage" in 2022 and completed it in 2024. He was recently hired as director and writer for "Haunted House Party" with production wrapping in fall 2025.
