"I am single minded and will manipulate others if necessary to get to the prize."

Born in London, Michael started his working life as a silver service waiter before settling on his current role as a telesales executive. Describing himself as unscrupulous in business, he wishes he'd left school at sixteen and foregone university to begin his lucrative career earlier. Describing himself as a 'social chameleon' he believes he can get on with everyone but admits to jealousy when others are more successful than him. Away from work, Michael enjoys partying, meeting women, boxing and football.
