His work has been featured in many design-related publications. He has been profiled in Sources + Design Magazine, Photoshop User Magazine, and has received NAPP Editor’s Choice multiple times.
In an interest to promote his fellow photographers and become more educated in his field, he became an ASMP Board Member and the Photo Editor for AIAP. In 2009 he also launched a collaborative website, featuring a carefully selected group of professionals, who he considers to be the best architectural photographers in Arizona.

He began his career in commercial photography in August of 2003, following a four year term at Exponent Failure Analysis Associates where he captured high-speed photo-documentation of vehicle impact testing, aircraft seat safety testing, and small component testing.
Michael approaches each assignment with enthusiasm and respect for the designers who commission him for his work.
