- Graduated from Hastings College located in Hastings, Nebraska
- Michael was on-call for filming "To Wong Foo" for approximately 6 months, which, at the time, he had to wear a pager in order to know when he was required to film. During that time, he managed to still go to college full-time. When his old-fashioned pager went off, he immediately would leave class and drive 2 hours to the locations in Loma, NE. The day he was called in for the audition, he was house-sitting a home 5 miles outside of his hometown. He had biked there that day as his car was in the shop. When he got the call, he hastily had to leave the house he was watching, bike back home in the dead heat of July, and compose himself to drive his mother's car 90 miles to the audition in Lincoln, NE. He managed to make it in time, and became one of the original three "Rude Boys.".
- Las Vegas, NV Worked for Cirque Du Soleil's "KA," (2008-2013). (July 2010)
- Started his own production company, Digisphere Productions, which focuses on Film, TV, Webseries, Music Videos and more. Michael provides services in Directing, Cinematography, Original Music Scoring, Editing, Sound Design/Mixing, and more.
- If you look closely, Michael has a small scar on his right brow. The cause goes way back to the days of Jimmy Carter as President. When Michael was just a baby, his family was visiting Denver, CO, and it happened that Jimmy Carter was in town that weekend. As it was standard procedure, the Secret Service posted their men in many of the nearby hotels and buildings. It just so happened that Michael and his family were riding up an escalator in one of those hotels, and a couple of Secret Service agents were riding further up ahead of the family. One of the agents pulled out a cigarette, and the other pulled out his Zippo to light his colleague's cigarette. However, the lighter slipped out of his hand and it managed to land squarely on baby Michael's brow which caused the cut and subsequent scar. True story. The men who guarded the President with their lives had an embarrassing run-in with accidentally injuring a baby that day.
