Michael was born in Montreal and lived his earliest years in Vancouver, Winnipeg, and Toronto. After returning to Montreal, he lived in Dollard-des-Ormeaux for many years and moved to Côte-des-Neiges after completing his BA in history at Concordia University.

Later, Michael studied literature at McGill University and journalism at Concordia University before building a long, successful career developing communications solutions for his human resources clients. Throughout his career with three global HR consultancies, Michael lived in Saint-Laurent and Ahuntsic-Cartierville while raising his three children. He bought a condo in LaSalle in 2014, where he still lives with Anna and their dog, Léo.

While always informed about key events and issues, both at the provincial and federal level, Michael never considered joining a political party until he began following Maxime Bernier after the 2017 Conservative Party leadership race. Seeing that he could be a force for change at the federal level, Michael became a founding member of the PPC and began volunteering for the Dorval–Lachine–LaSalle PPC association. He became president of the association in time for the 2019 election. For the 2021 election, Michael was a candidate and loved talking to citizens about their issues and sharing the PPC’s platform and values.

If voters give Michael the chance to represent them in Ottawa, he will use his consulting experience and commitment to the PPC’s values and platform to bring the federal government back into alignment with its constitutional mandate. A smaller, more focused federal government can get Canada back on track to the things that matter to regular Canadians: fiscal prudence; sustained growth in its energy and resources sectors; rational foreign policy; and renewed national pride and unity.

Like Maxime Bernier, Michael wants the federal government to always put Canada and Canadians first instead of kowtowing to unelected lobbyists, activists, and bureaucrats – both here and abroad – and meddling recklessly in provincial, municipal, and individual affairs. It’s high time Ottawa protect our borders, remove obstacles to internal trade, and free Canadians to solve problems and create wealth through innovation and hard work.
