Michael is extremely involved and spirited; he is a model Tar Heel. In addition to painting up for nearly every game (and keeping a countdown to basketball season), Michael is a member of Sigma Phi fraternity, an Excelling Through Mentoring mentor, an NC Fellow and a dedicated participant of Relay for Life. This guy clearly takes advantage of the amazing opportunities that a school like UNC provides. When I asked him what he loved most about Carolina, he replied, “The atmosphere–everyone here loves their school and is passionate about something.”
When Michael isn’t busy with his insane extracurricular activities, you will probably find him having a laid back night with his friends. If not, he might be outside running a half marathon. In the future, Michael plans to join the U.S. Marine Corps as a second Lieutenant; the plan is to fly the F-35. This is no surprise seeing as Michael comes from a Marine family, (he has moved 13 times!) which means–yes ladies–he is extremely respectful and polite. After fulfilling his goal of becoming a pilot, Michael says he might consider getting involved in politics; his ultimate goal for the future is “to change the world for the better.”
So ladies, there you have it–a family man who is goal-oriented and dedicated–what more can you ask for?
