A Chicago-native, Michael eats, sleeps and breathes Tempe12. When it comes to work, he’s all business. With the exception of an occasional A-Rush break, he is nose-to-the-calendar all day without complaint! With a degree in Marketing from Arizona State, he hopes to use his knowledge to get Tempe12 on the walls of every college student in the country. If you can’t catch him in the office, he’s probably watching the Chicago WhiteSox, Bulls or Bears or eating exotic cuisine.
