Biography
Peter Michel was born in Devonport, Auckland. In 2007, after a successful 34 year career in Sales and Marketing Management, he started Living Family Histories Ltd as a vehicle to follow his dream of documenting the history of New Zealand families, companies and organisations. He became a member of the NZ Society of Genealogists.
By November 2023, he had produced 26 full length and many shorter history documentaries - most of which he had researched, scriptwritten, filmed and edited himself. He had also researched and written 14 history books and currently has two family and community organisation history books and one family history documentary in various stages of production. He is now accepting commissions for new books and/or documentaries for commencement September 2024.
For fun and to develop his camera and video editing skills, he has produced over 490 music, sports, and company website videos and tv commercials.
In his spare time, in addition to an ongoing programme of self-education, he follows a regular exercise programme - including weight training and playing & training for touch rugby. For relaxation, he enjoys kayaking and speedboating on the Waitemata Harbour.
The rest of his time is spent enjoying time with his 11 year old grandson and mate, Louis Milan Michel.
