About Michael Young
I’ve arrived at my writing via engineering and sculpting.
I attended high school in Chichester in the south of England. Studying engineering, I progressed through university at Imperial College, London before landing jobs with mainly large building companies in England. I later moved to Southern Ontario with my wife and family to work in the steel industry on a pilot project to build industrialized housing. We stayed in Ontario where I later worked on public housing and then moved to employment at a bank.
Throughout my working career I dabbled in art and took classes at a local community college. An early retirement presented the opportunity for me to attend Ontario College of Art and Design and graduate with an honours diploma in Sculpture and Installation. With two fellow sculptors, I founded a stone sculpting studio. I lasted ten years before setting this physically challenging activity aside. I turned to writing shortly afterwards.
As a lifelong student of human nature, I have always been impressed by the diversity and generosity of spirit of mankind. Such qualities are a source of inspiration.

I’ve arrived at my writing debut via a life in engineering, painting and sculpting.
Not a usual path for an author, for certain.
Starting at school in Chichester in the south of England, via University at Imperial College, London, UK – where H.G.Wells made his start – I worked through a bunch of jobs mainly in the project management side of the construction industry in England, I finally settled in Southern Ontario, Canada. There, I worked in steel, public housing and bank sectors. Early retirement allowed me to say goodbye to industry. Moved on to Ontario College of Art and Design for honours in Sculpture and Installation. Worked my art practice in a shared stone sculpture studio for over ten years. Now resting my overworked arms to pursue writing.
Generally a life well lived, exposed to all those left weighted brains and right ones too.
Do I sound a bit straight up to you? Maybe. But read what I have to say before you reach any hard onclusion.
