Micheal is an ex-competitive swimmer, who still can’t resist the lure of the pool. When he is not swimming laps, he is a connoisseur and collector of wines. During his career Michael has lived and worked through a coup (Thailand), a civil war (Sri Lanka) and a revolution (Egypt), each being a challenging and unique situation to experience first-hand.
