Michael earned his B.S. degree in Biology and Anthropology from Towson University and has since worked towards optimized HVAC energy efficiency solutions. Michael believes local efforts contribute to global solutions. Stewardship of our watershed lands is just the beginning to nurture cleaner and sustainable creeks, rivers and the Chesapeake Bay. A day of joy is planting trees in the watershed to help stabilize our Gunpowder Valley’s eventual contribution to our precious biome. He and his wife, Phyllis, live one half mile from the waters of Loch Raven Reservoir.
