He acquired all his skills in handling vehicles and airplanes himself. When asked about his CV, he says instead that he went on a trip to Greece immediately after passing his driving test. He started this together with a friend, using a Ford Granada as the vehicle. This was already on strike on the outward journey and had to be repaired first. That was the spark that sparked Manousaki’s love of screwdriving. Michael did his military service in Mannheim,

Career

After graduating from school, he worked in various jobs, including as a salvage diver in Nigeria. This was the hardest time in Michael’s life, especially because he contracted malaria at the time.

His company has an exclusive contract with the US Army and is supplied with shipments of discarded items at irregular intervals.

Regarding his private life, the public doesn’t really get to know much. Only those closest to him seem to know whether he is married. His daughter appeared on a Steel Buddies show when she was 14.
