Michael is an average guy just trying to make it through life. He's divorced, has one child, and is struggling financially. His age, and current job situation, place him in a tough spot- his bills are almost always as much as his income. Michael often goes into debt for life's little enjoyments. Michael is a laid back kind of guy, really cool, and very earthy. However, you might catch him day dreaming, from time to time, about a having the means to live "the good life." He is tied to a desk job, but he'd much rather be doing something much more adventurous. His Ex-wife is on the verge of marrying a wealthy and well-respected businessman- she constantly remarks on his lack of ambition. This reflects in his daughter who has become accustom to gauging people, and life, by monetary means. Michael is a collage grade, but was more interested in the diversions of collage life rather than its studies. His mother just passed away and left him a decent house in the suburbs of South Jersey- she also left him the financial burden that accompanies it.
