Introduction

Hi, folks. If you are looking for versatility, you have come to the right place. Magically, I have entertained "kids" from as young as 3 to as old as 103. The corporate crowd loves me because I have been one of them (national award winning salesman and product manager for a Fortune 500 Company). Close up, stage, walkaround? I have been doing all three for over 30 years, for schools, corporations, trade shows, awards banquets, and just plain old let's have fun parties. As a speaker, I have presented keynote and motivational talks for corporate, community, and church groups. I am currently featuring a presentation called "Guaranteed Roads to Success"(with a twist you will absolutely not see coming), have authored two books and working on a third. I can motivate young and old, professional and student, corporate and community, with an excitement to get off of the couch and do something, even during this time of Covid. I show how not to get bogged down by "what I can't do." Virtual or in person. Let's do this!

Hired on Thumbtack

When choosing an entertainer for an event, I choose the right person who just happens to be skilled at his craft. Michael is a person of rare depth and schooled by life’s experiences. He is interested in every topic and conversational in nearly everything. He felt like part of my family and we felt so connected to him. His skill at reading the room and connecting with the personalities there, combined with his years of perfecting his craft as a poet, a comedian, a salesman, inventor and a magician make him the perfect choice for celebrations of all ages. Our group included ladies in their 90s, 80s, 60s, and 20s and he appealed to all of us. Many of his celebrations are at children’s parties. So Michael has range and depth. We will gladly hire him again for another event. We had a great time!
