Originally trained as an architect (University of Sydney) and graphic designer (National Art School), Michael spent then ten years working as a corporate and freelance graphic designer before going into art education. Teaching art for over twenty-five years at the prestigious Saint Ignatius¹ College, Riverview and ten years at Chatswood College, Michael received his Masters in Art Education (Hon) in 1997. In the same year he commenced study under Tom Bass and since 2000 has taught part-time at the Tom Bass Sculpture Studio School.

Michael has worked professionally as a sculptor since 1998 exhibiting annually and completing several important community commissions for St Leonard¹s Church, Sydney (Lectionary), Saint Ignatius¹ College (The Altar), and the Rainbow Serpent for Erskineville Public School Sydney (in collaboration with the Tom Bass Sculpture Studio). Most recent commissions include the Captains¹ Walk (Jubilee Park, Cootamundra) and Madonna and Child for the Matthew Talbot Hostel in association with St Vincent de Paul Society.
