Navigator born as Michael Council in Mississippi, at the age of five realized that I was gifted with the power of the spoken word. At my kindergarten graduation ceremony, I stunned the audience with the prolific speech, “Happiest Child Alive”. I was a student athlete in track and basketball; I played in the school band for several years playing the different drums.
I grew up in Mississippi and graduated from Broad Street High School, in Shelby, Mississippi. I joined the United States Army in 1987. I was stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma after basic training. I was a member of the special weapons team for my unit that built nuclear rounds. June of 1990 would soon become a year of spoken words as my field artillery unit was deployed to the Persian Gulf for a tour of duty. “I was scared and writing so many letters back home to family and friends” the local newspapers. This is where I started to improve on my craft of writing spoken words. I would write poems about the war and the conditions in which we had to survive under the heat and just living the life of a soldier you know “That Man”. I was a young soldier but didn’t think about what I was doing at the time just a job out of high school. After the war, I had a brief tour in Europe. My destiny guided me to the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and from the flatlands of the Mississippi Delta to Atlanta, Georgia where I now live.
