Hey, I’m Michael! I’m a professional speaker, author, father of 3, and long-time adaptive athlete.

17 years ago, I was paralyzed in college.
It forced me to start over and opened
my eyes to what it takes to persevere
—to do battle with adversity and beat it.

I now know firsthand what it’s like to
deal with tough transitions and the curveballs
life can throw at us…

And I know the amazing opportunities & growth that can come from it!

That’s why I speak to college
audiences, students, and working-world professionals all aiming for something great.

My goal is to help them/you/us master
Life Transitions, persevere more effectively, and become who we’re meant to be…

…by sharing my 3 Key Steps for improved persevere & long-term resiliency

…by Altering the way we see Adversity & Improving the way we Plan for it.

Because our success journeys & paths to personal transformation, for all of us, has very much to do with our ability to Persevere and how well we handle hard stuff!

I look forward to connecting and starting a dialogue, so that together we can show others how to persevere and beat the tough stuff.
