Michael graduated from Craigmont High School, Class of 1986; following high school, he joined the Army where he served 6 years. During his tenure, he was stationed in Germany for 1 ½ years. After the Army, he wanted to continue to protect and serve his community as a Lieutenant for the Millington Police Department and a Deputy for the Shelby County Sheriff's Office.
He was a collector of many things, but firearms and knives were by far, his favorite. He enjoyed working with hands and building in his garage; he had every tool you could ever imagine.
