About Michael

I have basically had two careers. I worked for 15 years in higher education administration. Now I've done 10 years in a couple of capacities related to economic development. From 2006 through 2013, I served as Executive Director of an economic development nonprofit organization. For the last 18 months, I've been Senior Consultant and Project Manager for Sequoia Personnel Services, a small staffing company on the Redwood Coast of California.

When not at work, I spend time with my wife Tish and our two dogs. I'm active in my community. And I love to brew beer.
