Missoula, MT. 2009

Michael is a freelance writer and photographer based in Dallas, Texas.

After graduating from Texas A&M University (where Michael spent a year as a cranky columnist for the student newspaper), he went to work as a writer for Political Research, Inc., a Dallas-based research firm specializing in domestic and international politics. While there (the company folded soon afterward), he put out more than 30 articles and help direct the editorial staff. He also had the opportunity
to work as a contributing editor with the fledgling re:d Magazine.

In 2007, shortly after facing down multiple bulls in Pamplona, Spain, Michael figured that freelancing couldn’t be that bad and decided to forgo another staff position (read: desk job) for uncertain pay, dingy hostels, and the inimitable tropical parasite. He is also at work on his master’s degree in Latin American development.

His work has appeared in The Bryan-College Station Eagle, Taylor's World of Politics, Clements' International Report, Matador.org, re:d Magazine, Where Magazine, and in Australia's Zoo Weekly (which has to do with zoos in only the most metaphorical of senses) among others. Presently, he is a contributing writer and photographer at THE Magazine.

At the moment, Michael is in Dallas, Texas. You may always contact him here.
