Both parents were of the Masonic Order, in that, his Father hailed from Sophia Temple #188 and his Mother hailed from the Daughters of ISIS #165. Although God called his Father home while Michael was seven years old, and his mother seven years thereafter at fourteen years old, after a short football career, Michael went on and joined the United States Army and became a U.S. Paratrooper stationed at Fort Bragg, NC. Michael achieved the rank of Sergeant very quickly; although his military career would only last for approximately eight years. Through trials and tribulations, Michael moved towards completing his Associate's Degree and met a Professor by the name of Joyce Williams who taught Public Speaking at Kansas City Kansas Community College. Ms. Williams inspired Michael to write this book long before he developed the concept. A Lie In A Situation or A>L>I>A>S> is something that Michael had witnessed throughout all of his life. Everybody will tell a lie in a situation! Presidents, Police, Clergy, etc..... After completing a song about Alias, Michael began to reflect on things that happened in his life and how he witnessed people tell lies to cover themselves or to obtain certain advantages. He began to put these thoughts on paper and after several chapters decided that ALIAS would be his first official publication.view less
