Growing up in Ann Arbor Michigan, Michael found his love for cinema as a projectionist, getting an inside peek at all that cinema had to offer. He followed this passion to Chicago IL, where he studied film at Columbia College. The institution's eclectic, urban environment inspired the creation of his Sci-Fi Short Film “Burden". Upon graduation he moved to Los Angeles with his wife Kristine Lynch to continue his love of filmmaking. He has had the privilege of collaborating with tons of filmmakers performing various roles as Director, Cinematographer, Producer and Editor. Always looking to expand his talents and knowledge in the Film Industry Michael recently joined the Local 600 Camera Union as an Operator and became a licensed Part 107 Drone Pilot.

Ever determined to leave his own mark on the medium, he went on to direct the feature films “Dependent’s Day” and “Victor Walk ” and produce several successful films that had limited theatrical releases. “Between Us” featuring David Harbour, Julia Stiles and Taye Diggs, “Saving Lincoln“ featuring Dave Dastmalchian and Penelope Ann Miller, “This Thing with Sarah” featuring Wes Chatham and “Lucky Number” featuring Method Man and Tom Pelphrey.

Michael is on a mission to tell compelling and socially important stories that can help better the world and bring awareness to the masses.
