Michael was the first person who published a structured database about buildings on the Internet back in 1996. His original website later became Skyscrapers.com, a large database about skyscrapers. His data was used by CNN, the World Almanach, thousands of corporate customers and even the United States Congress. Skyscrapers.com later became Emporis, and Michael sold this company in 2010. Emporis' data was, at this point, 'the source of data' widely copied by Wikipedia editors, and Michael had a lot of conversations about this with Jimmy Wales. In the end, the public gained access to a lot of information which was formerly inaccessible to users thanks to Michael's efforts.
