Michael was born and raised in Cambridge surrounded by many aunts, uncles and cousins who he loved dearly, he attended St Mary's before receiving degrees from Wentworth and Bentley. He was happiest while watching his children and grandchildren compete in athletics and their other various activities near and far, driving through blizzards and torrential downpours to show his love and support.
