Michael's background is rooted more in sports rather than martial arts, specifically basketball and baseball. His martial arts training began when he joined Baer Swords at the end of 2019 where he quickly developed a passion for swordplay. He excels at longsword and has taken several medals in this category; he has also won medals in rapier, sword and buckler, and saber. His most notable victory is from CombatCon 2022 where he took the gold medal in Tier 1 Longsword.
His passion for swordplay has evolved to include teaching others what he has learned at Baer Swords. He is excited to help students of all ages hone their skills, learn new techniques, and become better fighters.
