Michael grew up in Omaha and has a bachelor’s degree in accounting from UNO as well as a master’s in business and finance from Creighton. His love of animals led him to work in the veterinary field, though currently he doesn’t have any pets (a dog may be in his future). In his free time, he likes to swim, lift weights and spend time outdoors. He also likes to travel and explore new places; he has visited five different countries and over 35 states, but still has yet to visit Canada.
