Michael was born in Anchorage Alaska (because his parents were in the oil business.) When he was born his mother quit her job to raise him. When he was a little boy he would always play in the snow and play with his toys. His brother, Justin, was born when he was 3, and around the same time his father was transferred to Bartlesville Oklahoma which ther lived in for 2 years

Michael came home from school one day to watch Clifford, but it wasn't on. Instead, it was an episode of Pokemon with Ash Ketcuhm and his rematch with Whitney, thus sparking his love for Pokemon. When he was seven, he moved to Houston Texas and got his first Pokemon game and a GameBoy Advance SP on his 9th birthday. But as he got older, Pokemon was yingo ut in his school causing him to get bullied a lot and he did not handle being teased well causing it to be difficult to make friends. His father told him to ignore what they say but Michael couldn't because he loved Pokemon.

When Michael was only 11, his father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and sadly passed away in only a few months. That tradegy affected Michael by a long shot, and his inability to react to the bullying got worse. He had a horrible temper, so going into middle school, he had less friends than he did before. He was angry most of the time and worried conastantly, along with the ocmmong fights he had with Justin. The only thing he remembers of middle school was his pulled teeth, acne, and braces. Fortunately, his imagination never died out and made stories of a hero called ShockBoy, and started an even better hero called RacoonMan and made books of his own fake Pokemon. After his creation of RacconMan, Michael's imagination expanded and he and his brother Jsutin created a youtube channel called MandJTV, short for MichaelandJustinTV. His inspirations were NigaHiga and Fred because he thought they were funny. He made his videos with his mom's old Camcorder and Windows Movie Maker. The brothers found it fun, but Michael enjoyed it more than Justin. They never gained popularity, but they were able to make their mother laugh. Before the creation of his YouTube channel, his mother married a new man in 8th grade., who in fact was friends with his parents before they got married. After they got married they moved to Midland Texas because there was an oil company there, and it wasn't long until he got used to his step-dad.

When Michael moved he switch from a school with 900 kids to a private school with only 40. He was glad to leave his other school but the private school wasn't any better. Michael still had bad temper, and he was uncomforatable there because the kids there were going to that school sincet hey wre 5 years old. His freshmen year was horrible because he got into 4 fights. He even got in school suspension for getting sucker punched in the face. His senior year went better, he got his braces of after 4 years and after three months of working in the oil fields and basketball practice he gained 10 pounds of muscle. He started to style his hair better and got his first girl friend along with a first kiss. They didn't date for a while but the experience gave him more confidence and realized most of the teasing were all just jokes and he gained a lot more friends, and he ad his brother got a long better than ever before, and got into his dream school Rice University. He also kept up with YouTube even though Justin quit after getting bored of it. After he graduated his step-dad moved back to Houstan, so the summer before college was very boring. But that summer he created he "How old is Ash Ketchum?" video which gained 1 million views which inspired hm to create more videos. After seeing pokemon videos, he decided to dedicate his channel to just Pokemon because they were more popular and that's what he has been doing ever since.
