Michael is an avid sports fan and believes many of the greatest lessons in life are learned “On the Court and Between the Lines.” Most of these courts were in Brooklyn, NY, his hometown and Bergen County, NJ where he resides with his wife and two children.
Michael has learned many life lessons through his involvement in sports. He started out as Pee Wee and Little League Players, turned into competitive High School Athletes and beyond. He always practiced basketball at home on his driveway and garage mounted hoop but always dreamt of having a court at home.

As a parent, he constantly shares the many lessons learned from playing sports and believes in the positive life habits that come from sports.
