出生于英国利物浦，自幼受到披头士乐队的耳濡目染，所以音乐对于他的一生有着至关重要的意义。在他15岁那年起，他就潜心学习英语和戏剧专业，直到2004年他来中国之后担任英语老师。

Mr. Michael Talion was born near Liverpool in the UK and grew up hearing the music of the Beatles. His life changed forever at age 15 when he went on a school trip to see a theater play, and realized he had the same birthday as William Shakespeare. After studying English and Drama at university, he pursued a brief theatrical career, before discovering life’s true joy of teaching. He came to China in 2004 to teach English to Medical students, and has lived in China since that time. He has a young son who constantly amazes him.
