Following a storied career as a photojournalist for local newspapers, the Associated Press and weddings in Columbus, Ohio, Michael applied his skills in church communications in Ohio and California for 15 years.

Mission travels took him to Malawi, Africa, Guatemala and Tijuana, Mexico. He’s produced music videos, a collaboration with good friend and co-worker, Dr. Stephen Main. Recent non-profit work includes Harbor House, CityTeam, Children Rising and Las Casas (Oakland), First Community (Ohio) and World Neighbors (international).

Michael’s style brings feeling, emotion and understanding to his stories – allowing the viewer to connect with the subjects, causes and missions he documents. He works quietly and unobtrusively, a trait he gained by covering thousands of feature and news stories for newspaper, magazines and websites.

GEAR - Michael uses Canon C300 Cinema Cameras with Canon Lenses for films, and Canon 5D Cameras for stills.
