Michael’s happy place is anywhere outdoors. Whether he’s playing with his son, running, walking his dog Tilly, camping, or tossing a frisbee, he finds energy and balance in staying active. When it’s time to eat, he gravitates toward “hole-in-the-wall” spots, especially those serving Tex-Mex or Italian. If he could master any skill instantly, he’d learn to play the guitar. And if he weren’t in construction, he’d pursue his dream of owning a business of some sort—just another way to keep life exciting.
