Prior to starting InGo, Michael spoke around the world about using Social Media to start and develop grass roots organizations and often captured hundreds of supporters in a single day. Michael studied at Virginia Tech with a brief break to intern in Parliament for Nigel Waterson, the Member of Parliament from Eastbourne. He resides in the Washington D.C., area, where he actively leads InGo.
