Michael studied Advertising, Spanish, and Communication Design at Texas State University, and hails from Austin, Texas. In a city filled with transplants, Michael is one of the few true Austinites, and proud of it. “When you plan a visit Austin,” he says, “be sure to do it in the spring or fall. It is the perfect weather for outdoor activities, most notably outdoor brunch. Just don’t move here.”
