Born and bred in Asheville, NC, Michael packed his bags and headed to Atlanta, Georgia, to chase his dream of becoming an Engineer at the prestigious Georgia Tech. But after graduating, he decided the world of restaurant hospitality was so last season and made a bold leap into the mortgage industry in 2004. With his hospitality roots, Michael's mission has always been to make clients feel like VIPs, delivering top-notch service and exceeding expectations in the mortgage game. When he's not closing deals, you'll find him running after his three energetic kids (who somehow have more activities than a full calendar) or enjoying a round of golf, a good run, or diving into a great book.
