Michael said: "I am bursting with excitement to be joining the fierce force of a company that is Watercooler. My life changing time in Australia was overwhelming in the most incredible way. From the moment I arrived, the love and support I felt was beyond what I could’ve dreamed of, and the people of Australia simply opened their arms to me. I couldn’t have been more grateful. I’ve been trying to get back to the place I consider like a second home for quite a while, so I couldn’t be more excited and am open to all the possibilities. It’s time for this honorary Chocolate Aussie to get back down under!"
