Michael earned his Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry from Kalamazoo College in 1985 and his J.D. from the University of Detroit School of Law in 1988. His professional life began as an attorney and then he found success as a business owner, investor, and entrepreneur. He had an incredible work ethic and was passionate about everything he did.
Michael will be missed by many as he touched the lives of countless people. He was always willing to share a moment, a laugh, a meal, or a glass of wine with the ones he loved. He was generous with his time, advice, and guidance and would help anyone in need.
As a loving father, he championed the athletic and scholastic endeavors of his three children, supporting, encouraging, and cheering for them in whatever they were doing. Michael was incredibly proud of his children and strove to be with them wherever they happened to be.
A passionate athlete, he played soccer on his college team, competed in triathlons and cycled, and would always make time to train and golf with his friends and sons.
