I was extremely fortunate to have Mike be my first hire as a manager. He set the bar high for other new hire qualifications. Joining the Cord Blood Registry sales team you had to be adaptive, intuitive, reflective, entrepreneurial, a team player and have keen salesmanship. Mike was all that! As a team member he became the team trainer. He helped with budgeting and became a mentor to other people on our team. He continued to develop a strong sales process he could rely on for the results he attained and was very strategic in the initiatives handed to him during the four years he was on the team. I have recruited him many times for positions after CBR and would be ecstatic to bring him on board again. Anyone who hires Mike will have a loyal, hard working employee with integrity and commitment to the team and company vision.

Mike is an exceptionally thorough, detail oriented and one of the hardest working key account managers I've had the pleasure of working with. Throughout our time working together at Sage, Mike has demonstrated his resilience, integrity, and professionalism with his colleagues and customers. Mike's humble attitude and desire to ask for feedback and input has made it especially productive for our collaborations together. I am so glad to have had numerous opportunities to partner with him. Any company looking for a top notch individual and professional will be lucky to have Mike on their team!
