//AUSTIN, TX// Michael started his work in Music Journalism in Boston during his time with College Radio. He combined his love for Fast and Heavy music with photography, and has covered crazy shows and events from coast to coast for over 20 years... with a camera at his side and an American Flag Bandana tied around his head! LOVES: His lovely new wife and incredible stepson, Tiki cocktails, avid gamer (Shameless Achievement Hunter), Craft Beer (Beer Snob), Schlock Cinema. FUN FACT: Lived in Puerto Rico, Brazil, Mexico, and Venezuela in my childhood. The editor of this magazine, M’Lou, gave me my first job in Los Angeles at a Bayside concert. She asked if I would cover Agnostic Front and lend my expertise into Metal.
