As the son of an Air Force officer, Michael had the opportunity to live and experience life in the U.S. and several foreign countries, including Taiwan, Turkey, Germany and the Philippines. This accounts for the unique perspective he brings to his passions which include art, public speaking, writing, music, travel and golf. One of his artistic pursuits even led to a line of note cards- www.angelcardsbymichael.com.

Since 2000 Michael has written and narrated four audio books that help people play a lower scoring game of golf, manage adversity for success in sales and use "self-talk" to positively influence every aspect of their lives. His latest audio book is entitled Design Your Life: Using Self-talk to Create Your Life One Day at a Time.

Since 2003, Michael has been writing articles on mental strategies for sports, sales and life in general. His mental game and travel articles can be seen on several online ezines like www.bunkershot.com, www.selfgrowth.com and www.transitiontimes.com.

Currently, Michael is re-writing his "Self-Talk to Success" workshop and working with Master Teaching Professional Charles Lightfoot, of the Advanced Lesson Academy of Golf, to create a cutting edge executive training program that uses the mental and physical strategies of golf to enhance business and personal success.

Michael resides on the emerald gulf coast in Panama City Beach, Florida and enjoys teaching people how to find their passions and realize their dreams while taking great pride in knowing that everything he teaches is rooted in personal experience.
