	Michael Jackson Production Manager;Email Michael Heralding from the great metropolis of San Francisco, Michael rolled into Los Angeles four years ago on the second leg of his “Fog and Smog Tour” and settled in the quaint, enchanted hamlet of Hollywood. Three little known, uninteresting facts about Michael: 1) He was born on January 1, the same birthday as his paternal grandfather. 2) He once had a dream in which he was sleeping (which made waking up very confusing). 3) Fact #1 was a cheap ploy to elicit birthday gifts and greetings. Michael is a graduate of San Francisco State University having earned the most useless degree offered by any academic institution ever of the world. When he’s not working, Michael is commuting.
