Growing up Southern California has many perks. One of which gives you the right to say “dude” anytime you want. In California, Michael grew up in a very Christian home. Church was a big part of his life at an early age attending a Christian school up until High School. In High School is where Michael found his gift of music, and helping in Youth Ministry. Ever since then, he has been helping people worship God in a highly energetic and spiritual way.

“Helping people encounter God through worship brings great joy to my life. I want to do this till I stop breathing, and God calls me home.”

Michael claims to be the world’s faster skipper. He challenges anyone to a race, and will give up this right to anyone who beats him. Other hobbies include bowling, which he states, “I’m so good that I even bought my own equipment.” He will give lessons for chipotle, which his favorite food.

Michael is thrilled to be a part of Velocity and help people come closer to God in the greater Cleveland area.
