He earned his B.S.C.E. from the U of Nebraska, and M.S.C.E. (Water Resources) from the U of New Mexico.

Michael spent the last 25 years as a principal – business development and corporate leadership – with a firm not rated in the ENR Top 500 in 1993, then grew to the ENR Top 100 by 2017; which gave him opportunities to mentor numerous interns and young engineers to become industry leaders.
