I've had the pleasure of working closely with Michael on initiatives to enhance student engagement at RMIT. Michael's dedication to creating opportunities for students, coupled with his vision for the RMIT Sports Media Program, showcases his commitment to fostering skills and providing valuable experiences. His innovative approach, including the inception of sport webseries, livestreams, Q & A series and the Redbacks podcast, reflects his passion for not only media production but also the wellbeing of the university community.

Passion doesn't begin to describe Michael. He brings a nonstop enthusiasm for his work, his coworkers, and is the definition of a team player. You talk about a super-utility guy — it's him. You need graphic design, photo, audio, video expertise — he’s all the tech expertise rolled into one. If I was running a team, he'd no doubt be my first call. While Baseball was new to him, he was always asking questions about strategy, who would be good to interview, and feature in a story. In this business, you meet a lot of good people — and in my 30 years, I'm glad to call him a friend and an exceptional worker.

I worked closely with Michael in Guatemala while he was directing a short documentary on the water issues we face in my country. I was really impressed by the quality of his work and his passion for using media to better the lives of people in the world.
It is not that common to meet young people like Michael that have a great work ethic and want to change the world. He has an attention to detail that is extraordinary and we have been great beneficiaries of promoting our work in clean water through his documentary. His ability to work with others was very respectful and effective. He is a natural leader!

Michael is a passionate and skilled individual, who I had the pleasure to teach at RMIT. Recognising his filmmaking talents, I recommended him for Actuality Media’s Documentary Outreach Program, where he excelled, producing ‘Cada Gota Cuenta.’ Michael’s recent academic honors reflect his exceptional results. As a dedicated media student, he presents on SYN Media and is deeply involved with RMITV, creating the web series ‘The Snake Pit’ and contributing to the Aussie Hands Foundation as a content creator. I haven’t met a student who is more involved as Michael.

Michael is truly an outstanding and one of a kind person. Throughout my three year Photography course at RMIT, I was privileged enough to be mentored under Michael as a Sports Media intern. His support, work ethic, passion and unbelievable ability to connect people and make them feel welcome is unexplainable. He is the most friendly and kind person who would make you smile by just thinking about him. I enjoyed my time with Michael wholeheartedly and I am beyond grateful for the guidance he has provided me through Sports Media and I would not be where I am without him.
