He later settled in Greensboro, NC, where, alongside his sons, founded Boston's House of Jazz, initially created to provide a platform for local artists to showcase their talents.

He was also a former member of Downtown Greensboro, Inc., an active member of the Greater North Carolina Black Chamber of Commerce, and a lifetime member of the Rockingham County NAACP.

Beyond business, Michael was a dedicated philanthropist who supported numerous initiatives throughout the community.
