He was raised in a family of librarians and every laugh he gets today is revenge for a childhood full of hushes. Michael's humor draws largely from his own wayward experiences and the uniquely-skewed perspective that keeps getting him in those situations. He has performed comedy internationally in London, United Kingdom and Toronto, Canada, and his fiction has appeared in The Review Americana and Cleaver Magazine, Michael co-hosts the Big Boulder Billy podcast with comedian Steve Litton.
