He works as a pediatric mental health. But his passion for helping kids doesn't stop once he's off the clock. Michael goes home to his wife and 6 children. Michael and his wife adopted 5 of those children, striving to give them a safe place where they are free to dream.
And that's why Michael decided to audition for America's Got Talent. He wanted to lead by example, putting his nerves aside to follow his own dream of singing on the big stage.

The result filled Michael with joy and excitement. And then his proud children came running onto the stage to give their dad a well-deserved hug. It was a beautiful moment I could easily watch over and over again!
