Hello there.

He spends his days as a Senior Director of Strategy at Launch by NTT DATA.

Michael is also the chief instructor of Zentokan Dojo, a school of Japanese swordsmanship in Brooklyn, New York, and an active member of The Empire City Garrison of the 501st Legion.

Previously Michael was Head of Digital Strategy at Postlight (acquired by NTT DATA in 2022), Director of Product Strategy at Code and Theory, and Global Head of Digital Innovation for Bloomberg. Prior to that he was Director of Operations at The Verge, a digital publication that tells stories at the intersection of technology, art, science, and culture. Michael photographed a wide variety of subjects for The Verge, from CEOs, celebrities, and cosplayers to iconic pieces of technology and the personalities behind them. He was profiled by Digital Photo Pro Magazine, and his work has also appeared in Popular Photography and Offscreen Magazine. 

Before working with technology, Michael was a professional musician. He performed domestically and internationally as a substitute clarinet player with The Cleveland Orchestra.
