Michael Schuur is a Reality TV personally turned commercial model. He gained his popularity while competing on MTV's Stranded With a Million Dollars. He has since appeared in various other media projects and social media outlets. Michael was born on August 11, 1997 in Las Vegas, NV. He grew up with his mother Melinda, and his father Eric in Palo Alto, CA- while remaining in the same property for his entire childhood. He attended Sacred Heart Preparatory School for high school, where he played Varsity Water Polo & swam breaststroke. His high school team, Sacred Heart, was one of the top high school water polo teams in the entire United States from 2013-2015 (coached by Brian Kreutzkamp). It allowed him to travel often to compete (both in state & international). Along with Varsity high school water polo & swim team- he was an active athlete in Stanford Club Water Polo, PASA Club Swimming, and participated in the US Water Polo ODP (Olympic Development Program) Program- he was then recruited for University- Pomona-Pitzer Water Polo (where he also swam and dove at a collegiate level).He competed in MTV's Stranded With A Million Dollars with 9 fellow contestants, it aired on MTV in 2016. Both he and Makani Nalu rose to fame competing on the inaugural season of Stranded With a Million Dollars. He has appeared in music videos including "On My Body" by Marky Style, Guy Gabriel &Time Dee as the principle role, along side Angela K Fairley. He also appeared as the male protagonist in Holland's Eurovision 2021 performer Wulf's "Half of What You Do" music video. He now largely works in both print & commercial projects- recently being signed with Alexander's Talent Management in Studio City. He is starting to pursue more serious acting roles- but he ultimately hopes to acquire enough experience/exposure to venture into the world of hosting news programs/interview based television.A fun fact about Michael is that he has a major love for animals & has helped deliver over 250+ baby livestock (majesty being goats & sheep) in various farms across the county. He became an Eagle Scout in 2015 with Palo Alto's Troop 57, his Eagle Project being a community/child-safe chicken coop for Scared Heart's lower school's on-campus farm. He has also participated in multiple high adventure trips during his time with Troop 57- but clearly didn't give him any advantage during his short stint on a teen survival television. Hide
