Early in life, Michael developed interests in aviation and architecture.
School was rough as Michael fought through academic problems and bullies.
The entire family went off to Australia for seven months when he was in the fifth grade. Michael and Paul attended a parochial school there called St. Leonard’s. Australia was fun most of the time. They made a few friends and had many wild adventures.
Michael attended West Virginia University for two years and attended West Virginia Junior College, from which he graduated in 2001.
Michael’s interest in writing developed early. However, the challenges in his life prevented him from pursuing his writing interests. Among these challenges was a diagnosis of a life-threatening heart condition that required him to have an implanted defibrillator or pacemaker.
Now, however, Michael is ready to write with the utmost vigor. Alexei’s Blue Marble was inspired by a 2013 cruise taken by Michael and his brother Paul to the Bahamas.view less
