Michael has been obsessed with music and dance for as long as he can remember. Music is a deep and natural language to the heart, and humans have been whirling around the campfire together to a shared heartbeat since day one. Whether playful or meditative, sexy or sad, improvised or choreographed, dance is feeling, and partner dance lets you connect to yourself and your partner and music like nothing else.
Michael is a born teacher and chronic philosopher who writes adventure fantasy when he's too sore to dance. He began partner dancing in his early teens and danced competitively as the top leader on his university ballroom team. He has both taught and competed professionally since 2017. He grew up around Washington, DC (where he first became obsessed with tango after seeing it at the Argentine Embassy) and moved to San Francisco for school to pursue dancing and writing full-time. Currently he lives in El Cerrito with his lovely wife Teresa and a herd of aggressively friendly cats who don't seem to mind the loud music anymore.
