Michael has been classifying your TVCs since February 2018 and made the pilgrimage from the wilderlands of New Zealand Radio Promotions after initially journeying to New Zealand from the concreted lands of Australian Radio Promotions and Traffic.

Michael has broken 8 bones in his body to date so a desk job to him seems like an ideal (and safe) place to be!
