Biography
As a skilled critical thinker with an aptitude for technology, Michael drives strategic analyses, troubleshoots inefficiencies, and delivers the best-in-class enterprise application solutions to best support management improvements, long-term growth plans, and profitability goals. Michael thrives on solving complex problems and making his co-worker’s lives a little better each day.
While he excels at working with the best technologies, Michael is not an always in front of the screen kind of person; outside of work, you’ll find him playing with his kids, practicing Yoga, or escaping for a weekend getaway with his wife. His biggest lesson learned in life is that you can always have a good time as long as you’re surrounded by good people.
Growing up, Michael spent a lot of time at the beach or camping in Yosemite. Those experiences have fueled his passion for keeping California’s beaches and parks free and open so that future generations can benefit from the same experiences he enjoyed.
