About Michael

I am a writer at heart, however, I have 30 years of acting experience, have been a second-team Director, Production manager, and a producer. I have produced one of my scripts and it is post-production currently it is titled, "For Love of a Fish" and it is about PTSD and how a couple handles it. I am seeking to make my mark as a writer.

Unique traits: My laugh
