Michael Coffey has moderate cerebral palsy caused by a lack of oxygen from the umbilical cord becoming wrapped around his neck at birth. Cerebral palsy moderately affects Michael's coordination and speech, but he strives to live life to the fullest. From living with extra challenges, he has developed more determination to try to triumph over all challenges that he faces--to fight the good fight and never give up. Michael is a graduate of Amarillo College, where he earned a Microcomputer Specialist Associate degree. He is also a graduate of West Texas A&M University, where he earned a Bachelor of Business Administration degree with a major in computer information systems. At Amarillo College, where he worked part-time for two years in the writing lab on computers, his classes included a news gathering and writing class, two English composition classes and creative writing. At the University of Kansas he took dramatic screenwriting twice because he liked it. He has written five feature-length screenplays, three short stories and two children’s stories. Michael has invested in three feature films, and he is credited as an Associate Producer for the feature film, Nailbiter. His first speaking part is in the feature film, The Sublime and Beautiful, filmed in Lawrence, Kansas. Currently he is producing five of his screenplays including Triumph, a teen sports-drama starring RJ Mitte and Terrence Howard with a cast of other Hollywood actors. Triumph has completed post-production and the movie is being screened for distribution. Michael's IMDB page link: https://www.imdb.me/michaelcoffey
