At the age of six months Michael was able to tell the paediatrician, "I have a left ear infection". I wish I could have seen the doctor's face. Then, at 8 months he was learning to read. Not really fair is it?
Michael was homeschooled by his parents, especially, by his mother, Cassidy, a Japanese American. But at age four he became a member of Mensa, whose members have IQs in the top 2 percent of the population. His younger sister, Maeghan, is also a child prodigy.
As a toddler, Michel took the television apart and tried to see if the cat could fly.
Believe it or not, at six years of age Michael had earned his school certificate and enrolled in junior college. He was also diagnosed with ADHD but his parents rejected the use of drugs for the condition. Another doctor called him retarded. Really!
At age eight, Michael earned an associates degree and in 1994, he received a bachelor's degree in anthropology, from at the University of South Alabama.
At 14, Michael had a master's degree in chemistry from Middle Tennessee State University and at age 18, he earned a master's degree in computer science from Vanderbilt University.
When Michael was 22, he earned his doctorate in chemistry from Middle Tennessee State University. He has also appeared as a contestant on various games show and won twenty-five thousand dollars from Who Wants to be a Millionaire? He has also appeared on Drunk History, an American educational television comedy series and performed at Nashville Improv.
