Michael worked as a government official for the German government until, in 2007, he decided to quit his job and traveled the very next day to New York City and signed directly with FORD Models. After that, his career took off and he lived in places as Milan, Barcelona, London, Miami and Sydney. 


During his career, Michael was the face of Baldessarini fragrances. He did campaigns for Brunello Cucinelli, Pierre Cardin, and Damat Tween. He shot for the Czech Vogue with Karolina Kurkova and was on the cover for the German GQ. Other brands he worked for include Bogner parfum, Zimmerli underwear, Montblanc, Mercedes, Porsche Design, and not to forget a shooting together with Pamela Andersson for a chocolate calendar. 

When Michael is not working he still loves to travel. He also reads a lot about politics and history. He enjoys hiking, reading, sports and a good glass of red wine. What matters most to him is loyalty.
