Michael was born March 10, 1995 in Calgary Alberta. While obsessed with film from an early age, he devoted most of his life to playing sports, particularly baseball, which took him all around North America. Michael played two years in Spokane Washington, before transferring to UBC to finish his college baseball career. After a shoulder injury helped end his career, Michael felt lost. It was in 2017 when he decided to enroll into Film Production at Vancouver Film School, there he would meet future collaborator and film partner Aiden Marsden. After graduating from VFS, he finished his History degree at UBC as he looked for work. Michael works part time (having a year of full time experience under his belt) as a lamp op in the industry. He is currently dedicating his time to developing new projects and improving his writing, with hopes of one day selling a script and making a feature.
