Most recently, Michael moved back home to Jonesborough, Tennessee with his wife and children. He attended Boones Creek Christian Church with his family in Johnson City, TN. Above all, Michael's legacy was defined by always keeping Christ at the center of his life which was reflected to his children through sharing scripture, reading bible stories, and serving at church.

Shortly after college, Michael met Kaylin, his wife and best friend. They have been married for 11 years. Michael and his family lived in Jonesborough with their children, Jack (6) and Sadie (4), and two dogs, Smokey and Bandit. Michael treasured being a father and was a living example of Christ's love for his children. He was the most famous at home for making Saturday breakfasts that always included pancakes with fun flavors and toppings. He loved to read books with his kids, take them on gas station runs to pick out fun treats, and regularly organized family Mario Kart tournaments on the weekends. Michael was a beloved father and husband and brought indescribable joy into the life of his family.

He had an interest in historical studies, earning a Bachelor's degree in History from the University of Tennessee. In 2014, he began his career as a teacher and coach. He taught history and leadership courses at McDonald Junior High, Stockdick Junior High, and Paetow High School in Katy ISD. He had a spiritual gift for leading young men through school leadership programs and sports. Beyond the football field, he also coached basketball and track in the off-season. He cared deeply for the well-being of his students and athletes, even following along with them after graduation.

Michael loved music, sports, and cheering on both the Tennessee Vols and Atlanta Braves. He was a voracious reader and was a storehouse of knowledge across a variety of topics. He was also a remarkable trivia partner, especially about sports and Harry Potter. One of his hobbies was using video games as a way to keep in touch with friends even from a long distance. He was an avid listener of podcasts, including his favorite show about Dungeons and Dragons- Critical Role. In the car or at the gym, you would always find him listening to a variety of genres from yacht rock to 2000s rock with a little mix of country.
