He grew up with his mother Melinda, and his father Eric in Palo Alto, CA- while remaining in the same property for his entire childhood. He attended Sacred Heart Preparatory School for high school, where he played Varsity Water Polo & swam breaststroke. His high school team, Sacred Heart, was one of the top high school water polo teams in the entire United States from 2013-2015 (coached by Brian Kreutzkamp). It allowed him to travel often to compete (both in state & international). Along with Varsity high school water polo & swim team- he was an active athlete in Stanford Club Water Polo, PASA Club Swimming, and participated in the US Water Polo ODP (Olympic Development Program) Program- he was then recruited for University- Pomona-Pitzer Water Polo (where he also swam and dove at a collegiate level).He competed in MTV's Stranded With A Million Dollars with 9 fellow contestants, it aired on MTV in 2016. Both he and Makani Nalu rose to fame competing on the inaugural season of Stranded With a Million Dollars.

He also appeared as the male protagonist in Holland's Eurovision 2021 performer Wulf's "Half of What You Do" music video. He now largely works in both print & commercial projects- recently being signed with Alexander's Talent Management in Studio City. He is starting to pursue more serious acting roles- but he ultimately hopes to acquire enough experience/exposure to venture into the world of hosting news programs/interview based television.A fun fact about Michael is that he has a major love for animals & has helped deliver over 250+ baby livestock (majesty being goats & sheep) in various farms across the county. He became an Eagle Scout in 2015 with Palo Alto's Troop 57, his Eagle Project being a community/child-safe chicken coop for Scared Heart's lower school's on-campus farm. He has also participated in multiple high adventure trips during his time with Troop 57- but clearly didn't give him any advantage during his short stint on a teen survival television. Show less «
