 Michael was raised in the south where he learned to love the outdoors at the side of his stepfather, a true conservationist who taught Michael and his brother not only to love all aspects of the outdoors, but to respect it as well.
Through this love of all things outdoors, Michael, still an avid sportsman, learned to not just paint what he saw, but to make it as lifelike as possible. Michael takes great pride in the smallest of details exhibited in his work. From the exact number of stone blocks on his famous Alamo gun, to a flea on the collar of a commissioned dog portrait. Nothing goes unnoticed by this incredible artist.
One of the things that makes Michael truly unique is his ability to do all aspects of art. From painting, to design of custom knives and jewelry to engraving. Very few artisans are in his league of limitless abilities. Michael is a world class engraver. This ability has not gone unnoticed, as Michael has designed for Browning and many other outdoor related companies. Michael's works have been auctioned at numerous charity events, always bringing an exceptional price for the organization and making him in constant demand.
In addition to his phenomenal talents as an artist, Michael is a world class archer . Michael won the gold in the Georgia State games in sporting clays. Truly an all-around sportsman and artist whose works will be legendary.
