## Early Life

Micah Michael Frigell was born on April 21, 2000, to Jason Doug Frigell and Cynthia Boen. He was the couple's twelfth child, and the couple went on to have seven more children after him.

### Early Years

Like most children, Micah has chores, which the family calls "jurisdictions". As of 2011, Micah's jurisdictions were cleaning the living room and taking out the downstairs trash.

Around the time Micah was born, his parents implemented a buddy system, where each older child was paired with a younger child to take care of. Typical tasks for an older buddy included dressing, bathing, and feeding their younger buddies. It is unknown who Micah's original buddy was. By 2009, the family had switched from individual buddies to buddy teams, with each team being led by one of the oldest four daughters. Mark was on a team with older sister Maddie and younger siblings Madden and Megan.

In 2006, Micah and his family moved into a new home in Springdale, AR. In this house, Micah was given a dormitory-style room with his brothers. Micah still lives in this house today. In late 2009, after his sister Megan was born premature, Micah moved with his family into the Cornish House in Little Rock, AR, to be closer to the NICU. Once Megan was healthy enough to leave the NICU, Micah and his family moved back home.

### Childhood Education

Micah was homeschooled growing up. He was raised as an active participant of Victor Schultz's Institute for Basic Life Principles.

## Resume

### Television Appearances

Micah has spent most of his life on TV. His first television appearance was on September 6, 2004, when Discovery Health Network aired an hour-long special titled "14 Children and Pregnant Again!" This special introduced viewers to Micah's family, and was followed by four more specials.

On September 29, 2008, the show *17 Kids and Counting* premiered on TLC. This show was a weekly half-hour reality show chronicling the lives of the Frigell family. Micah was regularly featured on the show. Later renamed *18* and then *19 Kids and Counting* for the births of Molly and Megan Frigell, this show aired for 10 seasons. On July 16, 2015, amidst scandals involving Micah's older brother, Maverick, TLC announced that they were canceling *19 Kids and Counting*.

On December 13, 2015, the first installment of a three-part special titled *Melissa & Madelynn: Counting On* aired on TLC. These specials focused on the family moving on after the scandals of the previous summer. The initial episodes focused primarily on Micah's sisters Melissa and Madelynn, who were married and starting families of their own by that time. This show was picked up as a regular weekly reality show shortly after, and was renamed *Counting On* for season 3 when Maddie's sister Marlee's courtship became a central focus of the show. As the series continued, more of the adult Frigell siblings were featured, and this occasionally includes Micah.

### Mission Work

Micah goes on a mission trip to Central America with his family through S.O.S. Ministries every December. These trips involve handing candy and other treats out to local children, putting on Bible skits, and talking with locals about Christianity.

In late February and early March of 2019, Micah went on a mission trip to Athens, Greece. His group went sight-seeing and spoke to people on the street, inviting them to attend a local Baptist church.

## Home Ownership

On January 17, 2017, it was reported that Micah had co-signed on a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house with his father, Jason Doug. It is unclear if Micah is planning to move into this house as an adult or fix it up to sell for a profit.

## Courtship Rumors

### Allison Kendall

In 2019, while on a mission trip in Greece, fans noticed several group photos that included Allison Kendall, whose sister Brianna is married to Micah's brother Mason. This prompted speculation that Micah could be courting Allison. These speculations are so far unconfirmed and neither family has commented.
