“Mike is a rare, gifted, dependable, and effective coach. He is an empathetic giver- whether the years of coaching his three boys’ sports teams, or mentoring those dealing with issues of addiction, he has positively affected those in his care and their related families. I have known Mike 12 years, and recommend him without reservation.”

“I first met Mike in 2011, when i was living in a homeless shelter due to my addiction. At the time, i had no friends or family that (rightfully so) wanted anything to do with me. I also had a 6 month old little boy that needed his father. Mike took me under his wing and was my sponsor. I talked to Mike daily, attended AA meetings with him, did step work, and bounced every single life decision or thought i had off of him. I let Mike think for me because all my thinking had done was lead me to my bottom. Fast forward thirteen years, Mike is still a very close friend of mine and although i have slipped up a few times during those years he has been there every single step of the way. I honestly don’t know where i would be without Mike today. He is not only a close friend of mine but i truly think of him as a second father. Mike is one of the best men I’ve meet in my recovery journey and the world can use more people like him.”

“He’s ALL Heart. I had tremendous self loathing and Mike loved me back to life! Mike compassionately, skillfully and authentically guided the process for me to build the practice and skills to be the reliable, loving and resilient person who is courageous enough to take action on his own and vulnerable enough to ask for help. Thank you for being you brother!”

Michael has been making a positive impact on the recovery community for almost two decades and has helped many men gain their lives back, and become assets to the community, employers and loved ones. He is a talented professional who’s unique approach and style puts people at ease, but also effectively guiding their transformation to overcome the challenges of alcoholism and addiction. Michael walks the walk and demonstrates that in all areas of his life, starting with his wonderful three boys and wife Mari. I truly value him as a friend and professional.

“If you have the capacity for leadership and growth… look no further than Coach Mike. Having been a client of Coach Mike for nearly a decade, he has helped me unlock my potential, enhance my performance, and achieve goals that I once thought were unattainable. Mike was critical in developing my self-awareness, improving my emotional intelligence, and ultimately increasing my capacity to lead and influence others. Coach Mike’s ability to meet you where you are—coupled with his patience, kindness, compassion, and quick-witted humor—set him high above any other executive coach I have worked with”
