Random & Weird Stuff about Michael

1. I started my career in Human Resources as a letter carrier for the US Postal Service. During my 6 year stint, I was elected an officer in the National Association of Letter Carriers. (Branch 3126, Royal Oak, Michigan) This got me interested in Labor Relations, and then into HR.
2. I attended the University of Michigan AND Michigan State University. I cheer for both schools football teams, except when they play each other - then I am a Wolverine.
3. I was on television with Mr. Hockey, Gordie Howe.
4. I went to high school in Madison Heights, Michigan with Wyland, the artist famed for his 100 Whaling Walls. (Yes, I know his first name)
   
5. I once fell on my face during an interview - literally tripping over a trash receptacle and landing face down on the floor.
6. I am an excellent cook. The last major meal I prepared: spicy shrimp and scallops, white asparagus, Parmesan garlic risotto, and Veuve Cliquot Ponsardin.
7. I have three children (Bryan, Eric, and Claire) , 2 dogs (Cairo and Merry), one cat (Zelda), one wife (Kyle), one grand-child (Avery), and one Saab 9/3.
