Michael joined the WCAX team as the weekend sports anchor in the summer of 2022 after spending almost three years as the sports anchor for WLOX in Biloxi, Mississippi. Before starting his career there, he graduated from Indiana University in 2019.
Despite coming from the warm Gulf Coast, his Illinois roots have him ready for the cold winters. In his free time, he loves playing fetch with his dog, playing basketball in the winter, or spending time on the golf course in the summer.
