Michael grew up in South Florida and has called Atlanta home for 20 years now. He recently celebrated his 15th work anniversary as an oncology worker with Georgia Cancer Specialists. The diehard Dawgs fan’s interests include traveling, music, whiskey, a good Golden Girls marathon, and spoiling his pug, Bogey. Another treasured value in Michael’s life is his relationship with family and friends, and his personal manifesto for this year is to take more risks, step outside of his comfort zone, rush less, be more patient, don’t overthink, and laugh more – and also making it past 10 pm on a school night!
