“A journey of a 1000 miles begins beneath one’s feet” -Lao Tzu

As a licensed health service psychologist, Michael brings a humanistic approach to problem-solving, innovation, and leadership. He specializes in developing leadership practices and people management systems that foster healthy organizations and team members. Michael has more than 12 years of leadership experience in higher education and pulls from the experiences of leading multifunctional teams and units to the application of multifaceted organizational structures and teams that are part of complex community relationships. As a thought partner with leaders, he helps to uncover the barriers impeding growth and apply clear communication strategies and approaches to address conflicts and tensions within organizations.

Michael completed his doctorate of clinical psychology in 2011, and moved to Tulsa from Chicago with his native Oklahoman wife to start his career the same year. Away from work you will find him on the sidelines of youth sports for his two sons, finding some family adventure, or if he’s lucky, golfing.
