After graduating high school in West Roxbury, MA, Michael enlisted in the US Marine Corps in 1968. Michael served during Vietnam War from 1968-1970 as a combat engineer in demolitions.

He met the love of his life Nancy Marie Hurney and they decided to move out to the wild west and start a family. He found work at the coal mines in Wyoming and became a miner for life, which provided a great life for his family.
