Michael was always a pleasure to work with. Along with the rest of the staff, I found myself constantly inspired by his tireless dedication to meeting the needs of the children we served. He was always willing to go above and beyond in order to make any initiative/project/activity a huge success. Any organization should consider themselves fortunate to have Michael on their team.
