With a BA from the University of Western in English and Philosophy and with experience in media writing, Michael has worked in film and television production for many years. His interest in the mortgage industry started when his father's private mortgage business started getting busy and he saw how the mortgage industry was maturing. Yes, it's a big jump from film and television production to mortgages, but he figured it'll be a good fit and liked the idea of working for a small organization driven by the right ideals. Michael has been with Mortgage Intelligence and is an Accredited Mortgage Professional (AMP) with over five years of experience in the mortgage industry. He is presently a member of the Business Networking International and a Board Member with the Toronto Ultimate Club. During his free time he enjoys producing community live theatre shows.
