about mike

Mike is a former teacher with a passion for integrating data inside and outside the classroom. After teaching AP Calculus and coaching his local high school robotics team, Mike ventured into higher education, where he has worked for the past 5 years serving as a consultant for implementing and generating value from CRM and Data Warehouse solutions – both homegrown and enterprise.
 
He now takes that same passion for education technology and data integration to the broader nonprofit space to support all those who work outside of the classroom with their data management needs. In his free time, Mike still stays attached to his computer, playing video games, exploring the latest solutions in generative AI, or enjoying virtual tabletop games with his friends. He and his wife also enjoy cooking, watching the latest anime, or carousing their Plott Hound, Sebastian, for long hikes on the weekends.

Maybe that's enlightenment enough: to know there is no final resting place of the mind; no moment of smug clarity. Perhaps wisdom...is realizing how small I am, and unwise, and how far I have yet to go.
