He graduated from Ryerson Polytechnical Institute in Architectural Technology in 1973. Michael and two partners started a construction company in Cobourg in 1975; this grew to a size of 110 employees and $30 million annual sales by the late 1980s. He has run his own company, Dalren Limited, for the past 14 years. Over this time about $325 million worth of construction has been completed including all varieties of buildings.
