    Michael has 20 years of experience that has led him to work with many

    of the top publications in the region. Michael opened his own design firm in 2000

    and since then has come to understand that once you find something you

    love, you never actually work a day in your life.

    Michael has worked as the Art Director for numerous publications such as

    EDGE Magazine, MAR Magazine, Luxury Homes & Communities to name a few.

    Michael has worked with some of the top artists, editors, and photographers

    in the region such as Mark Stewart, Olan, Peter Max, and Sue Barr to name a few. Born in 1972 and a life long resident of New Jersey, Michael Joseph's name has risen to the top when it comes to Art Directors and Designers.

    In regards to your message on the [[WP:HD|help desk]]

    Hi Michael, creating pages about yourself or a company that you own or work for are strongly discouraged for several reasons, one of which being that article's must be written in a neutral point of view, however this does not apply if you wish to create the article's in your own userspace, I'd advise you to read your first article before pursuing the creation of these pages any further, thanks.

    You might want to read WP:UP#NOT also. For instance, this page is for communication with other editors, and even on your user page you shouldn't put "Extensive self-promotional material that is unrelated to your activities as a Wikipedian". Thanks.Dougweller (talk) 15:00, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
