Michael has a portfolio of work behind him that includes research, labour and advocacy for many organisations. A psychology degree combined with various further studies has enabled him to work in numerous fields as well as excel in individual pursuits. From international youth parliament to palliative care with special needs men, Michael has both great listening, and speaking voices. As an executive training assistent to the Premier's Department, he was trained to a high level in various software and is very savvy on any pc.

In his spare time Michael has achieved a lot with sports groups, the Australian Green Party and also with his own writing. His book on professional gamblers 'Even the Winners Were Losers' is a highlight. A keen walker, poet and travel nut, Michael enjoys the good things in life and realises that they are best shared with the needy. Now living in Eastwood, his favourite thing to do is to walk to Hutt Street for a coffee.
