He excels at system evaluation and developing efficient processes.

On the personal side, Michael runs to excess at times, having completed nine Marine Corps Marathons; five of which he considers to be training runs for the JFK 50-Mile ultra-marathons that he also completed. He has also earned a first degree black-belt in Tae Kwon Do as well as a blue belt in the Korean art of the Sword known as KumDo. He lives in the Del Rey area of Alexandria with his wife Terrie, and has two teen age children.
