Michael has had a passion for drawing and being creative since his youth. He was the kid who always had doodles in the margins of his school notes and later used a good majority of his junior high textbook pages to make flip book animations. He focused heavily on art in both junior college and university, spending those years cramming in as many life drawing, illustration and traditional animation classes as possible.

In his career, Michael has worked as a creative professional in several different aspects and disciplines for companies like Legacy Interactive, Walt Disney Feature Animation and Walt Disney Interactive. From the creative side of drawing characters, storyboards and 3D modeling, to the production side of team coordination, game testing and game development; his path has been an interesting journey to say the least.

Michael lives with his wife, children and one dog in Southern California.
