Michael K. Teiman

Michael was born and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona, and moved to Huntington Beach, California, when he was fifteen. He loves the area and has been a Southern California resident ever since.

His first job was at Ruby’s Diner on the Huntington Beach pier. Michael ultimately worked at Ruby’s for over a decade, developing and refining his strong work ethic, effective prioritization, and customer service skills.

After graduating from Cal Poly Pomona, Michael went on a seven-week backpacking trip through Europe that helped shape his worldview and empathy for others. During the financial crisis of 2008, he obtained a Master’s Degree in Education from National University. He originally intended to become a teacher, but his desire to practice law took over.

Michael graduated from Loyola Law School in 2017. He enrolled in the evening program in order to continue working and providing for his family while studying.

While he was at law school, Michael participated in multiple activities, clinics, and internships, including: the Center for Conflict Resolution, the Young Lawyers Program, the Human Rights Clinic, intern at SEIU 741, and intern at Navy JAG – Port Hueneme.
