Born and raised in Orange County, Michael Zschoche is no stranger to quality and style.

Zschoche became the sole owner of the gallery six years after first applying there for a job. At 28, Michael opened his second gallery (formerly known as MJW Fine Art) a few doors down. Michael Zschoche Gallery was different, featuring original works of art from nationally reputed artists.
Soon after, Michael opened his third store, Zschoche, a lifestyle store carrying everything from vintage sunglasses to hand made pillows.
