A Southern California native and honorary Texan, Michael is an NYC–based actor who has appeared in productions across the globe.
Growing up playing every sport imaginable, it was at the age of eight that he discovered his love for performance.
Michael received his BFA in Musical Theatre from Texas State University (Eat ‘Em Up, Cats!), under the direction of Kaitlin Hopkins. He has studied in England under renowned Shakespearean actors and teachers at Shakespeare’s Globe and Shakespeare’s Birthplace Trust. He is a proud alum of The Performing Arts Project and Broadway Theatre Project.
He has performed in other notable venues such as Madison Square Garden, Carnegie Hall and the Disneyland Resort. He has shared the stage with such artists as Phish, Kristin Chenoweth, Andrew Lippa, Ken Page, Take 6, Jonathan Butler, and Oleta Adams.
Outside of performing, Michael is a huge college football (Fight On, Trojans!) and NBA (Orange and Blue Skies, Go Knicks!) fan, friend of many (or so he likes to think), and proud cat dad.
He resides in New York City.
