Michael George came to TODAY'S TMJ4 from sunny southern California.  His family has a lot of history in southeastern Wisconsin, so his move to Milwaukee is a "belated homecoming."

Michael grew up in Palm Springs, a city known for desert landscapes and 110 degree temperatures.  He got his start in reporting at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.  Michael worked as a reporter and executive producer for USC's student newscast, Annenberg TV News. While there, he earned a College Emmy award and an SPJ Mark of Excellence. Michael covered major stories throughout the Los Angeles area, including Arnold Schwarzenegger's campaign for governor and the 2002 California wildfires. 

In 2005, Michael became the political reporter for the NBC affiliate in Bismarck, North Dakota . He came to TODAY'S TMJ4 in August of 2006. "I love living in Milwaukee . It has everything you could want in a major city, but it still has the sense of community that first attracted me to the Midwest ," Michael says.  He enjoys watching movies and basketball in his spare time. He is also a member of the Asian-American Journalists Association.
