Michael joined the Bachelor Creek staff in August of 2000. He came to Indiana from the sunny state of Florida where he ministered for nine years. Before entering into the ministry he worked in many different aspects of the secular business world including Ship's Agent, Retail Management, and construction. He traveled and sang (part time) with a Contemporary Christian Band for twelve years and thought that would be the extent of his music ministry until he was called to be the worship leader of a congregation in Melbourne, FL. Since then, Michael and his wife, Cheryl, have been ministering together as a team, both at home and in the local church. Michael and Cheryl have three children: Brandon, a graduate of Johnson Bible College with a degree in counseling; Aria, a graduate of Greenville College with a degree in Contemporary Christian Music; and Jacob a student at Northfield Jr./Sr. High School.
