A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Michael was born and raised in Hampton Roads, Virginia, and graduated from Old Dominion University. He was active in the Boy Scouts his entire childhood, earning the rank of Eagle Scout at the young age of 14. In Virginia, he worked in radio, and also started his acting career. His love of the outdoors which included rock climbing, camping, flying, and sailboat racing, quickly led to an affinity for stunt work. He is an Army Veteran, and currently serves in the California National Guard as a Blackhawk Helicopter Crew Chief, which takes him all over the state working with many different units, and missions types. He also actively fights fires every fire season, attached to CalFire.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
