While in college, he interned for WNBC in New York City and News 12 in the Bronx.
Prior to working at CBS News Texas, Michael worked in New York City at Spectrum News-New York 1, at CBS as part of the CBS Now Newscast, a national show that aired in 10 major television markets across the country, while also filling in on CBS News Texas on weekends and for severe weather, in Knoxville, Tennessee at WATE 6, and in Pocatello, Idaho on KPVI News 6.
