I met Michael on the 'Net right before I moved to DC.  We've known each other for seven years now.  He is one of the sweetest, gentlest souls I've ever had the privilege of knowing, and he's been a source of wisdom in some difficult times. He's also let me know that I've been a good influence on him at times. Thanks Michael!

Michael lived in Richmond when I met him, so he's still known as "Richmond Michael" even though he moved north!  Since we met he has also lived in Pittsburgh as well as northern Virginia.

Don't let his youthfulness lead you to underestimate him.  Mikey is a Certified Cisco Network Administrator, and is a big-time analyst for AOL, and he's only 24.  This boy's going to go far!
