In Fergus Falls, he attended Morning Son Christian School through 6th grade, and then attended Hillcrest Lutheran Brethren School for his junior high and high school years, through his junior year. He graduated from Fergus Falls High School in 2009.

 
He enjoyed football and track and was proud to be a Hillcrest Comet. He played baseball every year from his tee-ball years in Beulah, through his high school days when he played with the Hillcrest baseball team. He was the catcher, and loved that position.

 
Michael started in AWANA Club in Beulah at the age of 3. He loved learning the Bible verses and after moving to Fergus Falls, he went weekly to AWANA at Breckenridge, MN, continuing until he had earned the “Timothy” award.

He was an excellent carpenter for his age, and helped his grandpa with several small building projects.

 
He had been employed with Target Stores in Fergus Falls, and at KFC, Subway, and presently at VIP Pizza in Duluth.
