By age 10, he became more interested in the construction of violins and began to pursue those interests. He later moved to the violin making mecca of Bubenreuth, West Germany where he worked under the tutelage and close scrutiny of his father-in-law, Gottfried Raabs. Other training Michael received in Germany included that of Masters Adolf Buchner, Oswald Kunstman, Bruno Kreutzinger, Gerald Hannabach, Kurt Lutz and Gunther Lobe. In 1993, Michael was awarded the bronze medal at the Mittenwald International Violin Making Competition and a \"Sonderpreis\" or \"Special prize\" for \"Best overall tone\", having had the highest point score for tone in both the violin and viola categories. In 1994 and 1996, he won the \"Certificate for Tone\" for his quartets in the 11th & 12th Violin Society of America International Violin Making Competition, once again having achieved the highest overall score for tone. Currently his fame has come from creating eerily exact reproductions of fine early Italian instruments and he has worked for many of the world\'s best musicians including Pamela Frank, The Starker Foundation, Christies sale House NY, Emmanuel Borak, and Eugene Fodor to name a few. At present he owns and operates his full service workshop in Mechanicsburg, PA where he teaches violin making and restoration as well. He owns \"Specialty Violin Making Products\", a wholesale supplier to the trade. Most recently, his developments in wood technology as well as his advances in microphotography and micro-optics have again brought him international praise.
