About Me

My name is Michael, I emerged into existence in a little Appalachian town called Lenoir, North Carolina circa 1988. I served in the U.S. Army from 2005-2009 and Graduated from Appalachian State University in 2013 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Anthropology. That background led me to becoming an experienced funeral service professional, cremationist and licensed master barber. The Appalachian Son became more than just my screenname when the funeral home I worked for was bought out by a big corporation and I lost my job. This gave birth to my viral sketch Mountain Mortuary out of desperation, frustration and a stab at dark comedy. 

Thank you for stopping by and, most importantly, thank you deeply for your support. I am endlessly grateful!
