"Michael loved the outdoors, hiking with friends in the beautiful White Mountains. He enjoyed traveling, had a wicked sense of humor and he was very outgoing, making new friends wherever he went. He was a very insightful young man, concerned about not only about major issues like politics and the environment, but also about people and how/why they should get involved in helping to make this a better place to live. He would go out of his way to help someone who needed a helping hand. His biggest passion was food - creating new recipes, going to culinary school, and firmly believed that no one in this country should go hungry or be homeless. He was a true and loyal friend, always finding a way to inspire others to be part of something bigger than themselves."
