Often questioned by the police, just because they find him interesting, Michael’s been tech obsessed since getting his first computer at age 8 (an IBM PS/2 Model 30). Always tinkering with gadgets, he loves technology that keeps him connected with the things he loves: his vast music and movie collection, his novice photography hobby, his family and the news. With a VAIO in one hand and a strawberry milkshake in the other, you can always find him on the 7th floor rushing to his next meeting to discuss all things VAIO. The first Sony product he fell in love with: the Sony Walkman FM/AM Radio Cassette Player (WM-FX421).
