Back Porch Conversations
Welcome to Back Porch Conversations, a place where the day's noise settles down and real conversations begin.
I'm Michael, and each week I'll pull up a chair and talk about life, work, music, relationships, personal growth, and whatever else has been weighing on my mind. Some episodes will be stories from my own journey. Others will be reflections on the things we all deal with but don't always talk about.
No scripts. No shouting. No pretending to have all the answers.
Just honest conversations under the porch light.

Episode 2: Who's Sitting on This Porch?
If we're going to spend time together on this porch, I figured it was only fair to introduce myself.
In this episode, I share the road that brought me here. From being born premature and growing up between two homes, to coming out during my senior year of high school, experiencing homelessness at seventeen, working whatever jobs I could find, building a career in corrections, discovering music, and eventually writing my book, Life Under Repair.
This isn't my entire story. It's simply a look at some of the experiences, struggles, and lessons that shaped the person behind the microphone.
If you've ever felt different, started over, faced hard times, or wondered where life was leading you, I hope you'll find something familiar in this conversation.
If you'd like to explore more of my journey, including my music, book, social media, and other projects, you can find everything in one place here:
Pull up a chair, settle in, and let's talk.
Real stories. Honest conversations. The porch light's on.
