He has also served on many governance boards in the health and cultural sectors. Along the way, he has written and published eight non-fiction books, several including storytelling within a factual narrative.
Michael's latest book, The Canadian Health Care Guerrilla Handbook, co-written with Mike McCarthy, publishes in May 2026 with Sutherland House. It's now available for pre-order.
