Growing up in the Lower Mainland, Michael dreamed of a career in media. To that end, he attended the Vancouver Film School straight out of high school and earned a New Media Certificate in 2000. He then enrolled at Simon Fraser University, completing a degree in marketing with a minor in communications in 2004.
After working as an intern with Hasbro in Toronto and Nintendo in Vancouver, Michael enrolled in the Diploma in Accounting Program at the University of BC.
His goal now is to help STS Partners become a large Vancouver practice. His future goal is to combine his accounting, media, and marketing backgrounds to provide his clients with exceptional services, ranging from accounting to strategic planning.
Michael earned his CA designation in 2009 after having successfully passed the UFE honour roll as one of the top 50 writers in Canada.
