He has had several solo exhibitions, work in numerous juried/group shows and even work shown abroad. He currently has a permanent blown glass installation at the Monte Carlo Casino, Las Vegas. On a mission to make creating art a full-time career Michael picked up the media of jewelry and began experimenting with coins as the raw material in February of 2013. In July of 2013 he quit his full-time job and now spends 90% of his creative time working with his jewelry brand Money-Rings which can now be found in stores from Pennsylvania to California.
