My name is Michael. I am a father of 2 children. A girl who's 10 years old, and a boy who's 5 years old. I've had a girlfriend for almost a year now and she is a travel agent. I also have a 3 legged cat named Ihop. I have no idea how he lost his back leg but he's a very sweet cat. I love to go camping and hang out with friends. I can play some guitar, piano, and drums. I also draw, paint, write poetry, and I love to customize / personalize things.

I’ve had a wide variety of jobs, such as working with handicapped people, gas station attendant, ADT Security System Technician, Charter Communications Technician, and in their call center. I've Installed Dish Network services in customers houses, built Winnebago’s, built shelves, worked in chicken barns that housed over 300,000 chickens, and worked I've as a Walmart cashier. I have never found what makes me happy more than knowing the benefits of massage, how it affects the body itself, and also how it effects the mind as well. Helping people to access the ability to reach their goals, and be as healthy as they can possibly get themselves to be; this is what I strive to achieve.

I started this whole massage idea when I was in 8th grade. Some cute girl asked me to rub her shoulders in class, and it turned into me giving back massages to other random people in class. I thought it would be a good idea to research massage therapy, as a topic for our final in English class, in 12th grade. What I learned about massage astonished me. So after I graduated from high school, I took a tour of La James College in Mason City, Iowa. The lady told me all about the massage program and by the end, I was really excited. I called and told my father and he wasn't pleased with my decision, and put down my dream. So I decided to just go find a job in the "working world" instead. His demeanor stuck with me through the years and I just kept trying new jobs and I ended up disliking most of them. I finally got a job at a union based company that paid well but they laid off employees for 6 months out of the year. After I was rehired after being laid off for 6 months, I was only working for a month before they didn't have enough work, and needed to lay off employees right away. I was really upset at my whole situation so I and a fellow co-worker were both very interested in the massage program at Riverland College in Austin, Minnesotan. We set up an appointment with one of the teachers, and less than a year later, May 15, 2015, I graduated.
