Born March 12, 1973, Michael was
destined for the entertainment industry. Michael displayed his
creative and leadership abilities at a very young age. By the
age of 11, Michael had made his first musical recording. Before
age 12, Michael was performing complex magic tricks for his friends
and family. Michael made his professional debut as a musician
at age 15. Michael then discovered the video camera and began
writing scripts, developing ideas and producing videos. Michael
never lost touch with his creative side, even while making a living
in the workplace.
Before his 20th birthday, and
working as a union journeyman electrician, Michael found himself
managing crews on multi billion dollar projects for Intel, Honeywell
and Motorola. It was during this time frame Michael saw what was
to be the future of technology. Michael quickly accepted a position
with a multi-site computer company. Michael soon found himself
managing and expanding numerous retail outlets for a now growing
company. Michael decided to harness his leadership abilities and
formed his own successful technology based company.
During this time, Michael’s musical act was gaining in popularity.
He was also honing his magical skills in his spare time. In the
pursuit of his creative and artistic career, Michael began working
with other professional magicians and hypnotists. He found himself
on tour assisting professional entertainers on stage as well as
managing their audio, video and special effects needs. Michael then
began to develop and market his own magical and hypnotic stage shows.
Over the next 10 years, Michael became a world renowned stage hypnotist
and magician. He formed a talent agency and represented numerous
entertainers. Michael was regularly featured on national and international
on television shows, in print media and on radio broadcasts. During
this time he was still writing, consulting, and producing professional
video related works.
In late 2004, Michael found himself performing hundreds of shows
each year for casinos, fairs, festivals, theme parks and more. In
2005, Michael made his first award winning short film. Over the
next few years Michael found himself writing, producing, directing
as well as managing complex technical areas on feature films, television
shows, live productions, commercials and music videos. He had finally
found his true calling.
In 2007, after producing and directing thousands of live and planned
productions worldwide, Michael shifted his focus entirely toward
the television and film industry. Michael assembled post-production
facilities and has set out to revive a tired motion picture industry
in Arizona.
