Returning to Tucson he worked at various companies honing his computer skills. His last job was at Geico as an insurance underwriter.

Michael had an extensive exotic knife collection. He was a voracious reader and had read many of the great works. He especially had an interest in word origins. He also studied Japanese culture and had a great interest in martial arts. He loved family traditions and Christmas was his favorite time of the year.

His son, John, was born 2006. Being the first grandchild he was a celebrity of the Williamson clan. John has grown to be so much like his father.
