Michael was adopted in 1961 in Illinois. He grew up with two younger sisters, one adopted and one biological. They moved to Southern California when he was five years old. Michael has been married for 36 years and has three wonderful children and one granddaughter. He worked in the television industry for many years and moved his family to Atlanta to work on the Olympics and never left.
Around 22 years ago he started running, then biking and was always a swimmer. One thing led to another and he started doing Iron Man triathlons and is currently training for one later this year. If you asked him to describe himself 2 1/2 years ago he would say a husband a father and an athlete. He did both ancestry and 23 and me just had a curiosity never searched for my family then there was a match on 23andMe.
Now he describes himself as ADOPTED, married, father, grandfather, & athlete.
