Mike’s professional journey includes leadership roles as an employment lawyer, Vice President of a large human resources management company, and Corporate Employee Relations Manager for an international manufacturing company. One of the most transformative chapters of his life came when he and his wife, Kim, stepped away from their careers to serve for seven years as 24/7 houseparents at Big Oak Boys Ranch, mentoring eighteen at-risk young men. That experience reshaped his perspective on leadership, service, and the power of investing in others—principles he now weaves into his speaking to inspire audiences to lead well, mentor others, and make a meaningful impact beyond the workplace.
