Michael is an accomplished musician who's love for music and search for his native heritage led him to the Native American Wood Flute. With over 35 years of experience and as a performance and studio musician, as a drummer and percussionist, Michael developed his talents and perfected his gift for mastering intricate rhythms. He later learned, under the teachings of Kenneth Leonard, the electric, acoustic and classical guitars as well as music theory, history and ethnomusicology as a private student. With this knowledge, Michael desired to incorporate as many different types of instruments and backgrounds into his recording compositions - especially Native instruments. Michael's passion and interest has always been in the music arena. He is a perfectionist and feels it lends well to this craft. With this passion Michael has followed his heart and has begun teaching on the ancient methods, as well as today's methods, of construction and uses of the flute in the Native ways of life. Michael has dedicated his life to educating and teaching his Native culture and using his expertise in the flute as a catalyst for this training.
Michael is a full time Native American wood flute maker as well as a full time musician and performer. He travels and educates on Native American culture and heritage across the country. He teaches in various arenas, from historical societies, corporate business and day care facilities to colleges and national events.
