His first sales job was at Shane Co, Indianapolis IN, but he found his sweet spot in Broadcast Media Sales. Over the years he worked in multiple markets at various stations. He connected with people on a very personal level, and met his wife at work in May 1978. They were best of friends for decades before their journeys brought them to marriage in 2010. He loved tropical vacations, and Cancun was his favorite destination. Michael retired in 2009 and they moved to Dade City, FL.
