Bio
Robert (RJ) Stone
I have worked with Micah during all of his 15 plus years with the company, first as his supervisor and later as a peer. Micah has a unique skill set that is often hard to find. He has incredible analytical skills while having a stellar ability to communicate, connect and develop people. I supervised Micah during his tenure as a store manager and not only did he insure a high level of customer engagement and sales performance but he was very in tune to assembling a strong staff, teaching them, holding them accountable and being a true leader. His ability to effectively analyze and act on business trends was evident from the start. Later on in his career when he moved into the corporate support position, Micah was invaluable to our company in not only providing the tools we needed to be successful, but in helping the field teams to analyze issues and solve problems. Micah quickly grew into one of the most effective support team members I've ever worked with in my 40 plus years in the business. He was a fantastic business partner to the group of District Managers and store teams he supported and consistently went above and beyond in his efforts. Any company would be lucky to have someone as dedicated, intelligent and multi faceted as Micah. He is a truly extraordinary individual.

Micah is one of the best corporate partners I’ve worked with as a DSM. He is always quick to respond and resourceful at helping in any situation. His data analysis is both helpful and relevant to what we needed in the field. I could always count on him to get me answers when I needed them. Micah’s experience and knowledge is an asset!
