Who's Who Chicago: Centerstage People
Michael Foreman
A refugee from the Lone Star State, Michael fled blistering summers and busted T-Birds for epic winters and crowded trains. He's proudly weathered five years in Chicago without a single arrest or conviction. In that time, he joined the Journalism Program at Columbia College Chicago, where he's forced to watch Control Room, Network and Citizen Kane over and over and over again.

Lately, Mike has taken up freelancing, Hapkido and Bonsai with admittedly mixed results. For the record, his belt buckle is, in fact, moderately sized.
