In this episode, I interview a professional author, ghostwriter, freelance editor and blogger. We talk about how he became a writer after being a basketball coach and a lawyer.

He is the co-author of memoirs titled Play It Forward: From Gymboree to the Yoga Mat and Beyond (Agate Publishers 2016) and My Life: A Story of Resilience and Love (Page Publishing 2019).

He is also the author of The Other Classroom: The Essential Importance of High School Athletics (2018) (Rowman & Littlefield Publishers 2018), Odds-On Basketball Coaching: Crafting High-Percentage Strategies for Game Situations (Rowman & LIttlefield Publishers 2017 )and Prepping for Success: The Ultimate Handbook for the Beginning High School Basketball Coach (A&I Publishing 2019)

Michael recently finished his first work of fiction, Truth is in the House, and is working on memoirs for two clients.

Michael grew up in the Bronx, in its Mott Haven and Highbridge neighbourhoods. He plays guitar, holds a black belt in karate and lives in Marin County, California. Michael has two adult sons, both teachers and high school basketball coaches.
