As an attorney and an engineer I have seen Michael’s work ethic and dedication to honest and straightforward dealings. He is reliable, hardworking, and will always put forth an effort to help a group move forward. I have seen Michael maintain his friendly demeanor through stressful times, when others might not have been as strong. He shows kindness and compassion in his relationships. Michael has also been an educator, teaching business and is very knowledgeable in finance and business operations, and clearly has a background in those areas.
I have known Michael for over 25 years from both a personal and professional point of view, and he has been a great counterparty in business. Michael is known for being a man of integrity and is very well respected in our industry.
Michael understands the importance of sharing responsibility and following through on commitments. He has had a long and illustrious career. He has also worked with and lived in various cultures around the world and is especially culturally sensitive. On top of this, Michael is equipped with excellent conflict resolution skills.
I hold Michael in the highest of esteem, and his character is first rate. When he takes up a commitment, he pours his energy and his gifted intelligence fully into it. As Michael rose to the ranks of President of the energy company that employed him, he demonstrated the same first-rate level of intelligence, commitment, hard work, and ethics that I came to know of him through his volunteer activities.
