Chris "Hot Wings" Michels grew up in Lake Orion, Michigan which is a small town in north Oakland County. He is listed as a "notable person" on the town's Wikipedia page along with Nicole Curtis, Cynthia Watrous and Jimmy Hoffa. Before moving to West Michigan, Chris "ruined property values" in Mount Pleasant, Mich.; Council Bluffs, Iowa; Omaha, Neb.; Knoxville, Tenn.; Princeton, NJ; and Levittown, Penn. He moved to West Michigan in 2004 to begin working for WGRD. In his spare time, you can find him at Celebration Cinema North, Flat River Grill, Bravo!, HopCat, every single home improvement and hardware store in the area, and hanging out in various parks in and around Ada and Lowell. He likes to "avoid places where exercise might happen."
