Michael graduated from Stillwater HS in 1972, where he was a member of the Varsity Wrestling and Track and Field teams. He attended State University of New York at Delhi where he studied business.

Michael immensely loved and enjoyed his family first and foremost and would spend hours in the kitchen preparing feasts for them on special holidays, from appetizers to entrees to spectacular desserts. His sense of humor and Irish wit were exceptional, as he always had the talent of telling the perfect joke.
