Strategic development, Creative Direction, and Brand Build.
Michael was born in Akron, Ohio and grew up in nearby Stow, splitting his time between school, sports, and avoiding Church.
He headed to the University of Dayton, where he earned a Communications degree with a major in Public Relations. After college, Michael spent his 20s and early 30s living south of the Mason-Dixon Line and working in minor-league hockey and college athletics—picking up a lifetime of road miles and experience along the way.
In 2020, he moved to Cincinnati. After a short stint with a local nonprofit, he decided it was time to bet on himself and start building his own business ventures.
LSPM was born, Blu Cheese Brands followed and MAE513 made him get off the couch.
Today, Michael splits his time between his home in Golf Manor, OH and Angola, NY.
