Born on March 4, 1949 in Detroit, Michigan, Michael graduated from Fitzgerald High School (Warren, Michigan) in 1967 after editing the school newspaper in his senior year and starring in a school production of The Sound of Music, for which he was offered a scholarship to study drama in England. He attended Oakland University (Rochester, Michigan) and lived in California and Colorado before becoming a Unity Minister and serving churches in Pontiac and Flint, Michigan, and Columbia, Missouri.
