Michael grew up in little town called McKeesport, just outside Raccoon City. As a youngster, he never knew his mother who attempted to commit suicide when he was just 2 .His father was a working man in the army, and had a collection of firearms stored in his barricade and other places. Unlike other children, Michael didn't grow up learning about Santa or the Easter Bunny. Michael grew up learning about FRAG grenades and fifty calibers. At 10 Michael, best likely knew more about weapons than the average civilian, and most army personnel. At 15 he continued to law enforcement training in hopes of one day becoming S.T.A.R.S. He went to a academy, when he was top of his class. Around that same time, he began to get a reputation for retrieving things. Certain things people lost, they'd most likely come to him and expect him to get it back. Matters on how he got into this business are unknown to file. At 19, he perfected the art of retrieving things. At well as his CQC and his LRS. He has good over average knowledge of weaponry and is mentally tough. Not many things can make his freeze up.
