Though movie-making may not be "rocket science," Michael received his education in electronics and signal processing on missile development projects in the 1980s, when multimedia was in its embryonic stages of development. In 1990, a radio station contest was the motivation for Michael and a couple of friends to make a music video. The process of writing, storyboarding, taping, editing, and post-production was too much fun to ignore, so Michael retired from government work and began immersing himself in multimedia production.

Taking the newest Macintosh computers and S-VHS video equipment, he started making TV commercials for 1/10 the price of the major producers in Phoenix. He figured out ways to make animation at a fraction of the price of the big-boys as well, and eventually found a niche in computer-based training for K-12 and corporate markets.

With the use of his house for many scenes of "Live To Ride," Michael made the jump to major motion pictures.

He plays guitar, keyboards, drums, bass, sings, and teaches Final Cut Pro, Photoshop, DVD Studio Pro, Bryce, Poser, Flash, Dreamweaver, Director, Pro-Tools, and Peak. If you stick him in an airplane, he can fly that, too.

Always looking on the bright side, and with a wealth of experience, you definitely want Michael on your team to help solve problems when they pop up.
