Michael, known to most simply as “MJ” to those that know him. He lives in Smyrna, just south of Nashville, moving there in the Summer of 2023 from his prior home of 22 years in the Hardin Valley area of Knoxville. He has been married to my supportive and amazing wife, Angie, for 14 years and has three kids, which are his true pride and joy. By day, MJ is an insurance agent with Meridian Insurance and a REALTOR with Knox Valley Realty. His philosophy is “do my best for the people that entrust me to be a part of their world” in both of these avenues.
MJ earned his Associate Degree after passing 18 classes on March 30th, 2022. As far as his whiskey or bourbon passion goes, it began with what else, but Jack Daniel’s! Being an East Tennessean, you can go anywhere in the world and everyone knows Jack! From there, it expanded into other tastes and eventually led to his role here at Whiskey University. Michael’s favorite thing about whiskey and bourbon is the people; and that is why he is quoted as saying, ”I can’t pass an opportunity to bring people together with the “History and Taste” that we teach here at Whiskey University. I’m blessed to have built so many great relationships through such an admirable spirit.”
