I’m running for ANC in 5B05
Here’s a little about myself, in no particular order:
I am married to Andrea Fava
We are parents to Jameson Chaney, age 10
We are also parents to our 6 year old dog, Sophie
I run the Washington, DC franchise of Brooklyn Robot Foundry, a Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) enrichment program with robots you can take home!
I have an MBA and am a certified Project Management Professional (PMP)
We have lived in the single member district for over 10 years and in Washington, DC for close to 20 years
My work history includes a long career in IT project and program management
I have also produced multiple adventure races (trekking, paddling, and mountain biking to collect checkpoints with only a map and compass for navigation)
I am an avid cyclist and runner
I am a big do-it-yourselfer (DIY)
I believe we can work together to make things better for this community
This is a picture from Michael taken whilst participating in the 9/11/2026 memorial ride for Allie Hart. Allie was tragically killed while riding her bike near school. We must demand safer streets in DC!
Here is Michael at the H Street Festival interacting with a number of DC children. In his role at Brooklyn Robot Foundry Washington, DC, he teach kids about circuits and how to build robots!
