Michael was born on December 25, 1990, in Cleveland, Ohio to Sonya Everhardt and Michael “Brian” Cummings. Michael grew up in Flint, Michigan and spent a few years in the area of Charlotte, North Carolina before relocating to Phoenix, Arizona in 2010 to pursue his college education.

Michael’s post college career included extensive work in the computer technology field working for various organizations, which included, Asurion (Helpdesk Support Technician/Acting Tech Lead), Cardiovascular Consultants (Field Technician), Arizona Department of Child Safety (Sr. Systems Administrator), and Plexus Worldwide (Systems Administrator). Michael had an entrepreneurial spirit and worked continuously on helping his customers with their technology and mechanical needs. His companies, ByteWiseMike, and Mikes Auto Rescue had both recently launched and were doing well servicing new and existing customers. Michael had a beautiful smile that shone often, he laughed easily, stayed well connected with family and friends, and was known for his good nature. Michael was excellent with technology and could solve just about any IT issue. He loved playing chess, video games, watching cartoons, researching online, listening to music, hiking mountains, and most of all spending time with family and friends.
