Michael McAdams was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and raised in a strong Christian, faith-centered family. Influenced by spiritually devoted relatives, including a Pentecostal preacher uncle and a musically active mother, hedeveloped a deep foundation in faith. His grandmother, a minister, believed she received sermons and songs directly from God. As he matured, Michael remained asincere seeker of truth, exploring both spiritual and psychic paths.

At 20, he joined the U.S. Army and was stationed in Germany, where he lived with his family and welcomed his second daughter. After returning, he worked for GM and later as a sales manager for Sheraton Hotels. From a young age, he questioned traditional teachings and felt drawn to deeper understanding. He later discovered his intuitive abilities, including psychometry—the ability toreceive information through objects.

Michael began offering readings at spiritual events and believes his purpose is to bridge faith-based and spiritual perspectives. His mother, Wilma Jean Jones,also developed intuitive abilities, taught classes, and gained public recognition. Her experiences led to the creation of An Angel Told Me So, a three-volume collection of messages she believed were received from spiritual sources.
