Many don’t know this, but Michael is a 3rd degree master freemason with the Yorktown Lodge #555. Furthermore, Michael had owned a 30-foot Columbia sailboat that was moored at the 79th Street Boat Basin in NYC. A sailing memory that has stuck with him was the difficulty sailing up the Hudson while the wine and current was going in the opposite direction. Never went far.
