Michael joined the Army National Guard in 2004 because he wanted to serve his country. His father and sister both served in the military. Michael served in Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2005-2006 and again in 2008. The home is being donated mortgage-free by the Military Warriors Support Foundation, in partnership with Bank of America.​
