Mike attended Harvard College and Northeastern University School of Law, and clerked for the late Justice Paul Liacos of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. Work-wise, Michael enjoyed a 39-year career as an attorney enforcing federal worker protections with the U.S. Department of Labor, concluding his tenure there as New England Regional Solicitor from 2010-2018.

At DOL, Mike collaborated with worker centers representing immigrant and other workers in low-wage and high hazard jobs, with the goal of ensuring protection of their rights.

Mike has also been active for many years with Boston Workers Circle, a Jewish cultural and social justice organization, where he served as board president from 2007-2013, and has sung in the Yiddish Community Chorus for more than 20 years.

He enjoys vegetable gardening, hiking, and writing newspaper opinion pieces, previously about Israel/Palestine and Jewish-Muslim relations, and currently on labor and worker protection issues. He also dearly loves spending time with his three grandchildren.
