He graduated from the BFA Acting program at Azusa Pacific University in 2016 and when not at IFTP he spends his time teaching middle schoolers how to code and build robots. Studying sketch and improv has been a huge part in Michael’s life. It has helped him become a better writer, public speaker, and teacher. Improv lessons are life lessons. If you can learn to collaborate and build with someone on stage, you can do that anywhere. Michael is IFTP’s sketch director, Podcast host (Improv for the Podcast), and on faculty. https://www.improvcamps.com/register daily 0.75 2024-06-11 https://www.improvcamps.com/book-a-class daily 0.75 2021-08-08
