About Michael
I started my career as a real world painter, photographer, CG specialist, raster and video editor before learning to paint stories with words. My first job was actually as a pattern recognition analyst for the NSA, then began innovating techniques with different colored-pencil and oil media to achieve a hyper-realism, leading to an interest in digital matte painting and film F/X, all while embarking on a rigorous self-education in science, mathematics, philosophy, and the art of story, to which I've devoted the rest of my life after fathering 5 amazing children, the youngest now a senior at UGA, "Go Dawgs" and a Tiktok influencer/earner with 2M followers.
I've been developing properties for and with Hollywood Executive Producer Stratton Leopold for 16 years now, even managing to secure agreements for additional funding through my own much smaller network of industry professionals, conditional to certain production requirements.
I own 7 original screenplay properties, 2 of which I successfully transitioned to the novel format, both of which came to the attention and approval of one of the highest respected former Grandmasters of York Freemasonry (and White-House Consultant) in all the world, as well as support and encouragement from numerous well-known and prolific scholars of Rosicrucianism and the Elizabethan historical Age. I've enjoyed co-writing with a former Vietnam War Vet, an entertainment Attorney whose parents were both renowned scholars of Byzantine history, and locally, an award-winning college English Professor/independent novelist here in North Atlanta, Georgia.
Unique traits: I am a prolific polymath.
