At age 6, Michael had all 10 ACE’s and a handful of community ACE’s, he would struggle in life socially and emotionally.

He would end up in jail by the end of his freshman year of high school. Michael excelled at high school sports and earned a full athletic scholarship to Rutgers University to play football. While at Rutgers, he was also a member of the wrestling team, participating in two division 1 sports. He went on to obtain his bachelor’s and master’s degree in Special Education.
He even dabbled in competitive eating. In 2007, Michael competed in the Wing Bowl 15. He ate 68 wings in 10 minutes which was a wing bowl wing off record.
