Hailing from Wilmington, Delaware, Michael’s roots run deep in a place where history and heart collide. But weekends? Those were spent basking in the seaside charm of Rehoboth Beach – a tradition spanning nearly 25 years, where the salty air and boardwalk delights nourished his creative spirit. Fast forward to now, and Michael has traded East Coast breezes for the sun-soaked vibe of Palm Springs, CA, where he’s “living the good life” with a side of California cool. Lucky for us, Michael graces Taste Specific with his presence for several hours a week, bringing a fresh zest to everything he touches.

Michael’s secret sauce? A talent for fixing what’s broken and finding the sweet spot where simplicity meets brilliance. Whether it’s working with teammates, clients, or business partners, he’s like a master chef in the kitchen—always refining the recipe, so everything runs smoother, smarter, and with a whole lot more flavor. His philosophy? Work smarter, not harder, and always leave room for dessert.

With a culinary journey that began at the prestigious Johnson & Wales University, where he graduated in Hotel/Restaurant Management, Michael’s background reads like a gourmet menu. He’s sampled a little of everything: a starter course in fine dining management, a dash of hotel sales & catering, a surprising splash of Collection Agency management, and for the last 13+ years, a full plate of success in residential real estate. Communicating with clients and guiding them from point A to point B? That’s Michael’s signature dish, served with efficiency and a side of charm.

When he’s not working his magic at Taste Specific, you can find Michael rolling out his yoga mat, strolling the picturesque neighborhoods of Palm Springs, or planning his next culinary adventure to the hottest restaurants out of town. Europe’s cities are always calling his name, tempting him with their rich flavors and cultures. But for now, there’s always the pool—complete with mountain views and plenty of daydreams.

In case you were wondering, Michael’s the real-life embodiment of Donna from Suits—sharp, savvy, and always two steps ahead. Need something done? Consider it handled. With Michael on your team, life’s a little tastier, and the path to success is a whole lot smoother.

“OK, see you!” That’s Michael’s way of saying, let’s make magic happen, one project at a time.
