Bio
Anthony Nolte
Michael has exhibited strong leadership in working with us at Dynamo Charities on the Near Post program, a program to assist Dynamo players in their post soccer career transition. In addition to being a leader from the team perspective, Mike has also taken the time to meet with the business and HR professionals in the program to better understand the various stages and what each professional brings to the table. This allows him to have better communication with the players and shows his willingness to work hard to make a project successful.
Chad Jackson
Mike would be a tremendous asset to any company. He is a tenacious "go getter" who perseveres under any circumstance. I wish I had an opening with my company right now because I would hire him.
