He was one of the top students of his graduating class.
Currently, Michael continues to work in the health and fitness field by creating and implementing corrective strategies to address muscle imbalances, postural deviations, post injury rehabilitation, and improve performance by combining performance enhancement training and clinical massage techniques for fitness clients and martial arts students.
