Third of children and oldest son, in 1977 Michael met his soulmate Carolyn Smith in English class at Eastern Wayne High School, just two months before their graduation. After high school, Michael and Carolyn dated and attended her church where in 1978 he accepted the Lord into the center of his life just weeks prior to enlisting in the U.S. Navy.

Trained as a nuclear submarine electrician and navy SCUBA diver, Michael proposed to his high school sweetheart in 1979 and they were married in June of 1980. For the next three years, he deployed around the world in support of the U.S.- Soviet Cold War. While serving as an enlisted submariner, Michael felt a strong tug to obtain post-secondary education-a reality in 1983 after his competitive selection to a Navy program that took him to Auburn University, Alabama. At Auburn, he obtained a bachelor's degree in Political Science and a commission as an active-duty naval officer. Trained in surface warfare, Michael served as an engineering officer and combat systems officer in two different surface ships and became a father to their first of two daughters in 1990.

By 1992, he was selected to serve as adjunct professor of naval science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where the Wegman's welcomed a second daughter, Rachel, into their family as he completed graduate business school and transferred his commission to the Naval Reserves. Placing his family ahead of his naval career, Michael became a stockbroker for Prudential Securities in Durham, North Carolina to help raise his daughters.
