In 1991, Michael co-founded Digital Café, one of the world's first interactive advertising agencies and sold it eight years later to the billion-dollar ad agency, Campbell-Mithun.
Digital Café produced the world's first branded CD-ROM game, "Chex Quest" that shipped in more than six-million boxes of General Mills cereal and won the prestigious golden "Effie" award (a little-known fact about Michael is he did all of the character sound effects for the game!). Digital Café continued it's momentum by producing the first CD-ROM movie promotion (and shipped in Rolling Stone Magazine) and many of the world's first movie web sites, promotional screen savers, games for Sony, Columbia-Tristar and 20th Century Fox.
His motto is "Breaking the Rules Without Breaking the Law" and his clients love him for it.
