In 2003, Michael moved to Aberdeen and began working for Beadle Floral and Nursery.  Michael was united in marriage to Kimberly Pies on September 29, 2012, in Aberdeen.  The couple made Aberdeen their home, where Michael continued working for Beadle’s and eventually became their Garden Center Manager.  Following a 15-year career with Beadle’s, Michael began working for RBL Landscaping and remained working with them until the time of his death.
