Born in Longview, Texas, Micah Lyons completed his schooling at Hallsville High School. An acting scholarship later led him to Texas State University, where he pursued theatre and film, eventually earning a BFA in Acting. Even before graduating, Micah made his mark in the acting domain, securing roles in plays, indie films, commercials, and network TV shows in Austin and Dallas. In 2011, he married model and actress Brooke Spurlock. Chasing their mutual aspirations, the couple relocated to Los Angeles. The city, rich in opportunities, embraced their talents, casting them in TV shows and commercials. The entrepreneurial spirit in them also flourished as they established their production house, Breath of Life Productions, LLC. Micah's flair for writing became evident as he penned over ten screenplays for their company. Among them is "BUD/S", a narrative focusing on a young man's relentless journey to become a Navy SEAL, primarily to earn the admiration of his strict military father.

Family joys were aplenty as the couple welcomed their firstborn, Elijah, in 2013, and two years later, their second child, Finley. 2016 saw Micah in a pivotal role, both off and on-screen. He wrote, produced, and starred in "The Runners", a "Taken"-inspired action/thriller set against the backdrop of East Texas. More than just a film, it represented a cause – highlighting the dire issue of domestic human trafficking. Dedicated to making a tangible impact, the production team undertook initiatives to raise nationwide awareness on the matter, committing a significant slice of the film's earnings to non-profits working relentlessly against this menace.

Most recently, Micah showcased his prowess as a producer and actor once again, by producing and taking on the role of Deuce in "Grumpy Old Santa".
