Born and raised in little Rhode Island. Is the oldest Brother to a wide range of siblings and the son to many. "Being the oldest comes with a responsibility to be the role model I never had. To be the voice of encouragement, the voice of not giving up on your dreams. A principle I wish to instill within me. So that if anyone needs help, I want them to know I believe in their capability."  Passion for art, language, and the craft of storytelling are just a few of the characteristics found in the heart of Michael.  "There's a beauty about life, when you begin growing from your past. Discovering what the self is and how that fits into the greater world around." Favorite places to visit, museum's, historical sight-seeing, and adventure walks. The founder to ATIC studios (Arts to Inspire Collections)
