I was raised in Northern California in the wine country. Born to be a rebel rocker, I left home at 16 to be a hippy gypsy. I fopund a home with the Grateful Dead where I made clothing and jewelery to support my gypsy lifestyle. I moved to the East Coast in 1987 where I established a successful Tie-Dye clothing business called "Spectrum Dyes". In 1991 I learned wood sculpture from a Master Carver and established my Artwork on the Renaissance Festival Circuit. 16 years later I started a remodeling business in Tampa Florida where I live to this day. I have always written songs and invite you all to hear my music on my myspace page listed here in my profile. Blessings to you all, Michael
