About
Hi, I'm Michael. By day, I'm a writer and editor. By night, I'm still a writer and editor. I'm also an engaged work-at-home dad, a voracious foodie, an avid traveler, and a thinker who thinks he might be thinking too much. Beyond the Rhetoric is a reflection of my eclectic life, fueled by caffeine and Wi-Fi.
