Mike is a combat Veteran serving in both Operation Iraqi Freedom in Kuwait and Iraq, and Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. He continues to serve in the Army National Guard and currently holds the rank of Brigadier General.

Through service in these positions, continued professional education in performance excellence, 33 years of marriage to his wife Jo and raising four kids ranging in age from 32 to 20, Mike has acquired a tremendous background in leadership, teamwork and motivating people. He understands what it takes to build and maintain a positive attitude and how to motivate those around you to be better than they believe is possible.

Mike is passionate about spreading a message of self-improvement and helping people realize their maximum potential. He uses humor and real-life experiences to help participants recognize the "negativity traps" that affect our attitudes. His overall mission is to assist individuals and organizations to perform at such a level that Excellence becomes the Average. When we become better at who we are, we become better in all we do.
