Michael’s appreciation of the restaurant business started as a child when he’d spend time at the Red Rooster, his grandparents’ restaurant in Lincoln, Nebraska. The original menu is framed in his office and he still makes his grandfather’s fried chicken recipe for friends and family. Michael enjoys cooking for friends, spending time with his wife, Kristi, and taking his three daughters on campouts and other outdoor adventures. He earned a bachelor’s in management science and mathematics and a master’s of science in operations research from Southern Methodist University.
