Michael, a native Angeleno, embarked on his theatrical journey at a tender age, landing his inaugural role as Danny Zuko in his 5th grade production of the iconic musical "Grease". Little did he know, this marked the beginning of a lifelong passion, and, more pressingly, that he would soon find himself in hot water for pilfering his father's cigarettes and discreetly concealing them within the sleeve of his diminutive white t-shirt for the first performance.
As his theatrical pursuits continued to flourish, Michael went on to play the role of Winston in the television series inspired by Francine Pascal's bestselling novels, "Sweet Valley High". Following the conclusion of the show, he pursued his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre at the University of California, Los Angeles' esteemed School of Theatre, Film and Television.
Since graduating, Michael has maintained a steady career in film, television, and Los Angeles theatre, solidifying his reputation as a dedicated and talented performer.
In a testament to his entrepreneurial spirit, Michael co-founded Burton Street Productions with his wife, Melissa Lugo, a production company that has successfully produced numerous award-winning short films and web series.
