This is my Student ID Picture when I started Electronics School at Penn Technical Institute in Pittsburgh in 1980, just after graduating from Rochester High School, Rochester, Pennsylvania. Rochester is 30 miles North West of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
I changed my name to:
Michael Flex on April 18, 1988 - Because no one could pronounce or spell my name and I was about to become a Sergeant in the United States Air Force.
I'm American of Irish, Italian, Macedonian and Swedish descent. The first place that I saw the name Flex while I was looking for a new name was: Flex Shampoo in the Military Commissary I worked at. After that I saw this name just about everywhere. I found out after I changed my name that the name Flex is Italian and it wasn't shortened. There are many people in Italy and the United States with this last name.
