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 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 ofcountry.
