Born to a German mother and Mexican father, Michael grew up in rural Kansas on open acreage with an affinity for wonder.
He caught the acting bug at 12 when life cast him in the production of: "Convince V.A. Medical Staff to Admit my Father to the Detox Ward". It was in that moment he became transfixed by the power of emotional performance.
Never confronting the inner turmoil, he transferred the agony into a life of standup comedy, getting booked at The Improv, The Funnybone and an endless stream of bars and hole-in-the-walls.
Addicted to the maximum amount of emotion a human being can experience, acting and v.o. work was a clear choice. Numerous print campaigns, commercials and indie films would follow.
How can your idea be communicated in a relatable and very human way? Michael can be your resource to help that idea reach others.
