He possess expertise in customer service, event management, hospitality, event planning, social media and 10 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "In the 29 year history of The American Pavilion, Michael is one of the best Executive Chefs we've had. The fact that whenever there is an opening in that area...and despite the fact that it has been years since we worked together...we always say "do you think Michael would ever come back?" is testimony to the fantastic job he did and the affection we feel for him. Michael was an excellent Executive Chef and Culinary Program Director and is someone we all still consider a friend." and "Michael was Executive Chef of our hospitality venue at the Cannes Film Festival from 2008 to 2010. His responsibilities included recruiting, training, and managing a team of students and volunteers who staffed our kitchen. The American Pavilion is a temporary structure hosting up to five catered events per day, as well as daily breakfast, lunch and dinner, service. Working conditions are difficult and unpredictable, and Michael always had a positive attitude. His organizational skills, people skills, and team spirit made him a pleasure to work with. I will never forget one staff meeting, many long days into the festival, when Michael looked around the room and said to the team, "I look forward to this meeting every day, because I get to see all of you great people" or something like that. He meant it sincerely, and his ability to focus on something positive was contagious to the rest of the team."
