About 12 years ago, Michael began thinking that there was more to life than acting, and considered directing as a possible 2nd career.  Then another calling found Michael.  Shortly after Apple announced Final Cut Pro was shipping to the public, Michael decided that it was indeed time to plunge into the world of digital filmmaking and Non Linear Editing, and went out and mortgaged his families future on a FCP NLE system and a VX1000 camcorder. He has been a happy man ever since.
