Michael Skipper | CEO
Michael Skipper has been working in various aspects of show business virtually his entire life. He earned an undergraduate degree of Bachelor of Arts in Speech & Drama from Texas Wesleyan College. He began an acting career immediately after graduating with road shows of Fiddler on The Roof, South Pacific, Wait Until Dark and others. His subsequent move to California jump-started his television career with stints on General Hospital, Days of Our Lives, and the prime-time dramas Hart To Hart and Falcon Crest. While in California, his son Graham was born along with Michael's directing days. It was after Graham's birth that he and his family moved back to Texas to pursue a more focused career in producing and directing. Soon after, their second child was born, Emily.
