This full-time reporter and second-year University of Guyana student, who overcame the death of his father less than a year ago in a minibus accident, entered the Guyana Model Search competition with the main aim of helping a friend and secretly living out a lifelong dream. He emerged as the male winner.

The former top student of North Ruimveldt Multilateral School was born at Mahaicony and brought up in Campbellville, Georgetown. Now living at Plaisance, East Coast Demerara, Michael, the seventh of eight children, says he had always aspired to become a model.
