Micheal is a fractional Chief Information Officer and technology strategist who works with nonprofits, municipalities, small and midsize businesses, and mission-driven organizations. He helps executives and boards turn complex technology decisions into clear strategy, responsible investment, and practical action.

He knows the move from solving the technical problem to leading the people, priorities, budgets, and results around it. His teaching comes from work he still does every week: vendor problems, budget pressure, board communication, security concerns, team performance, and competing priorities.

He is also an entrepreneur and a graduate student in Theology and Divinity. His approach to leadership is built on dignity, stewardship, honest reflection, and the responsible use of power, so participants can grow without losing their authenticity.
