Born and educated in New York City, Michael studied Professional
Photography at The School of Visual Arts, becoming an award-winning
photographer whose photos appeared on many magazine covers and in The NY Times.
His corporate client list includes McDonalds, Marriott Hotels, and the NY
Yankees. Creativity, people skills and referrals lead to opportunities for
assignments photographing such notables as Senator Ted Kennedy and Nobel Peace
Prize winner Elie Wiesel. “Being a Finnigan, one of my career highlights was as
the official photographer of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Fifth
Avenue.”
Photography acquainted him with architects, designers, and
decorators who often consult Michael, both for his knowledge and eye for
detail, qualities which enhance him as a realtor. Having overseen the design
and construction of his family home, he is currently residing in and restoring
an 1893 Victorian House in the Village of Tarrytown. “It’s rewarding, getting
the details correct, down to glass doorknobs and ornate hinges not caked with
paint.”
Michael is an expert negotiator, a skill developed from his
earliest self-employment through his television & marketing experience
selling advertising for: HGTV, Food Network, TNT, USA, Lifetime, CNBC and
ESPN.
