About Michael Crook

 

I am Michael Crook of Albany, New York.  If you’re looking for Michael Crook the lawyer, music producer, photographer, professor or whatever else, you’re looking in the wrong place.  There are many Michael Crooks.

No, I’m absolutely not the only Michael Crook, but I’m the best one!

In addition to English, I speak Dutch as I can trace my Dutch heritage back to at least the 14th century.  Additionally, just for funsies, I am an anger translator.  I translate for people who are too kind or shy to speak angrily.  As I lived in New Jersey for some time, I can help with the anger aspect.

Furthermore, I am a certified American Sign Language interpreter.  I am one of the first people to have established an internet-based fan club for a European dance act. 

That club was the Unlimited Too Fan Club, which feted Dutch dance group 2 Unlimited from 1993 through 1996.  Through that club, I established professional contacts that continue to this day.

I am not generally known for my affability, and I do not believe in any form of conflict resolution, except when absolutely necessary.  I owe that personality trait to my time living in New Jersey.  In high school, I was part of the “village people,” because myself and a few classmates lived in a tiny village that took an hour to get to and from school.  So, yes, I literally was a village person.

After many years of not being tied to any political party, in May of 2025, I signed up to join the Republican parties as their morals, ethics and goals align with mine.  As such, I support President Donald Trump as being the finest president whom our nation has ever known and will likely ever know.

I am one of those people who follows the possibility of World War III.  I have written numerous articles on the subject and I consider myself to be an expert on the subject matter.

 

 

I am a proud fur parent to two lively and vocal cats.  After thirty years of Mormonism, I came home to the Catholic Church in 2022.  There, I attend Mass often and I volunteer whenever and wherever needed in my parish.  I am also active in the Holy Name Society.  My wife remains a Mormon.
