Michael completed his PhD in sociology at the University of Virginia in 2007 and remained there as a visiting lecturer. His next move was to build a career as an independent historian and biographer with special interests in banking, commerce, and law. His books available on Amazon include a biography of the biggest corruption buster in Oklahoma history; a history of central Oklahoma's uphill battle to attain territorial status and urban pioneering in what became Oklahoma City; a two-volume history of banking in Oklahoma; a novel; and an observant-participant study of cowboy sports. When he’s not writing in his home office just down the road from Monticello, he’s likely to be riding his horse, scuba diving in the Caribbean, or prowling through archives in his home state of Oklahoma, where most of his books are based and his family enterprises are headquartered. Michael lives with his wife, Judy, in Charlottesville and Oklahoma City.
