He worked as an Operator at Camuto Group based in West Hampton, New Jersey. Prior to Camuto Group, Michael worked as a store manager at Home Depot for several years. When Michael was not working or laughing with his wife, he loved to watch CNN, work on his favorite vintage car, and spend time with his grandchildren - whom he spoiled to no end.
