A native Charlottean, Michael graduated from UNC Charlotte and began his 21-year Air Force career in 1991, during which time he was relocated 10 times (10 years overseas) before returning to Charlotte. He holds 2 advanced degrees and is a graduate of the US Air Force Weapons School--the US Air Force's "Top Gun" school.
He brings a wealth of leadership and management experience and a straightforward, but compassionate style to his client relationships. His 10 years living and working overseas (2 in Korea, 8 in Italy) enables him to offer his clients a deep appreciation for cultural diversity. A strong supporter of veterans, he also actively seeks opportunities to help transitioning military personnel and their families make a smooth move to the Charlotte Metro area.
