Bio
M. Theresa Lane
Michael is a detail oriented professional who is an asset to any company or organization. I have always respected his management style and wish him much success in his new position.
Forrest Fontana
I've known Michael for 30 years as a fellow student and teammate and professionally in his role leading the advancement team at our alma mater. Michael has always been a leader and I admire his ability to develop loyal and lasting relationships while always creating an enviroment of support within his team. Michael is knowledgable, sincere, passionate, and always places high priority on successfully completing the many initiatives in which he is involved. I now serve as a member of the board at our alma mater as a direct result of Michael's role in challenging alumni to give back and get involved. I would recommend Michael wholeheartedly to anyone interested in adding a loyal and talented leader to their team.
Bernard Caniff, CPA/PFS/ABV
I have known Michael for over 25 years both socially and at St John's Prep. Over the years I have had the opportunity to work with him and share experiences at various levels. Working with Michael I found him to be very effective and instrumental in building and sustaining alumni relations for the Prep. He is an invaluable resourse who is very good at collaborating with staff and volunteers while keeping the focus on our mission and results. His dedication, leadership and personal attention to advancing our alma mater have earned him the respect of his peers and alumni. I would highly recommend Michael to any organization considering him and his considerable talents.
