Exceptional
Craftsmanship
Born and raised on a Minnesota farm, Michael garnered many skills from an early age in wood and metal working, construction, and machine maintenance. From one manual tracker organs to one-hundred plus rank organs, he has established himself as a talented designer and gifted craftsman. A consummate professional, Michael has been welcomed into churches, businesses and homes throughout the country bringing their visions to life!
Michael’s diverse background includes pipe organ building, custom furniture building, and mechanical design. Beginning as an apprentice at Marceau and Associates, he very quickly became the shop supervisor, overseeing several projects from inception to completion. Five years later he started his own business, Rose City Organs which quickly flourished throughout the western USA. Notable instruments are First Unitarian Church in San Diego, First Presbyterian Church in Pullman, Washington, and First United Methodist Church in Portland, Oregon.
As a Portlander for over 35 years, in his free time, Michael enjoys unicycling, playing the sousaphone, and spending time with his life partner and their dog, Daisy!!!
