Born in Torre del Greco, Naples, Italy to Luciano and Virginia ( Criscuola) Magliulo. Michael was one of eight children. As a young boy, he worked on ships. He immigrated to the United States at the age of 21 and began to make his life in America. Michael lived in Brooklyn, New York before settling in Marlboro, NJ. He first worked as a dishwasher and pizzaman before enrolling in a city college then onto Polytech University where a professor from his college recommended him to work at Nasso Construction Company as a civil engineer. He then went on to work for DIC Concrete one of the largest concrete companies in construction.
As a civil engineer, he advanced himself to become one of the few high rise concrete superintendents in the Golden age of high-rise construction in NYC. He had his hands in the biggest projects on Manhattans upper East Side. Some of his projects included Police Plaza, Highbridge Residential Neighborhood in the Bronx, Isabella Nursing Home, LeFrak City, Trump Village, Independence Plaza, The Pavilion Luxury Apartments, Fusion Academy Park Avenue, and his pride structure Tracey Towers, the two tallest structures in the Bronx.
