Michael is the Coordinator of the Phoenix Team and a Pre-ETS Specialist on the North-Central Team.  He has a bachelor’s and master’s degree from Columbia College.  He was previously a learning specialist for eight years and a special services coordinator for four years.  He says that one of the greatest benefits of this job is working with students, seeing them gainfully employed or enrolled in a post-secondary school or training program, and feeling like we may have had just a tiny part in that.  In his personal life, he is married and has three children, two daughters and one son, and of course, he loves all things Mizzou Tigers!
