I bring over 15 years of military experience and technical expertise as a leader, and I'm passionate about applying my skills to new challenges. 

During my time in the Navy, I gained essential trade skills that are in high demand in emergency repair and industrial manufacturing.

I became a subject-matter expert in crafting replacement parts and troubleshooting complex mechanical and hydraulic systems at the component level. This often-included overhauling engines, propulsion, and auxiliary systems on ships, aircraft, submarines, and a variety of other equipment. 

Eventually, my hard work paid off, and I was excited when the Navy gave me the chance to share my skills and help others learn. 

I dedicated four rewarding years helping others gain hands-on experience with machine shop tasks and repairs at the Navy's largest fleet school. 

I taught students to use a variety of tools, including lathes, drill presses, milling machines, and CAD/CNC software.

During this time, I enjoyed maintaining and enhancing the course curriculum, making the learning process even more effective for students.

When I decided to use my G.I. Bill to attend university, I initially pursued a mechanical engineering degree, as someone with my skill set would naturally do.

I slowly realized how much I missed connecting people to new ideas and concepts. 

My time as a teacher and career counselor was among my most rewarding experiences while in the Navy.

That’s when it hit me, I want to connect people to Ideas. 

I always had an entrepreneurial mindset, even in my teens. I have started and sold two companies of my own. While that was exciting and profitable, I wanted something more sustainable. 

After speaking with my mentors, one mentor in particular suggested public relations.

“Michael, your passion for solving problems motivates you—communications  seems like a natural fit for you.” 

I shifted my major to strategic communications the following week.

Looking back, he's right—I genuinely want to address the challenges that come with running any kind of business, not just my own.

That’s why I’m excited to be your go-to consultant, whether you’re launching a new startup, rebranding your business, or giving an existing successful company a fresh, modern look.

I genuinely love what I do because it brings success to life.
