Michael's Story

Life After graduating from MHS, I received my undergrad degree from the Univ. of Tulsa in Public Relations, worked on-air at a Tulsa classical radio station for 2 years, changed directions and earned a Masters in Counseling/Higher Ed (Univ. of Central Arkansas) and then did some post-Doc work at the Univ of Arkansas, before changing directions again. Soon thereafter, I married Susan in 1996 - she was my primary reason for the move to Dallas. At the time, Susan was working (and still works) at Southern Methodist University, and after working at an Episcopal Church for four years, I found a job at SMU, too, and have been there since. We spent our 5-year wedding anniversary in Germany in November 2001 (where the "current" picture of me in my profile on this site was taken), and we both had a fantastic time visiting people and places where Susan had spent time as an exchange student.

Qualifying and becoming a voting member of NARAS, which allows me to nominate and help select Grammy winners each year since 2002, is just one of the amazing benefits I've realized from maintaining my interest in music, and singing in particular. I'd love to hear from anyone from the 1985 "Last Graduating Class" at Memorial (or anyone for that matter) who might remember the tall, skinny kid in the drama dept... or the choirs... or the only french horn player in the band & orchestra... or the dude who sang "Only You" at the talent show that last year. If I get notes from enough people who've seen this bio and ask me, I might get the nerve up to post another pic or two, or even lay down a little money on the site.
