about mike

As a mindset keynote speaker, Michael has always been driven by a desire to inspire and empower others to achieve their goals and aspirations. Born and raised in on Long Island, Michael was a natural leader, organizing events and projects that brought people together and made a positive impact on the community.

Michael was also recognized as one of Long Island’s “Top 25 Advocates for Latino Empowerment” and received the 2012 “Multicultural Award” from The Hispanic Network.

However, Michael always felt a pull to use his skills and knowledge to make a larger difference, and so he began to pursue a career as a public speaker. Following a harrowing 17-hour turmoil in which Michael’s kayak overturned, leaving him stranded in the choppy waters between Long Island and Connecticut overnight and through much of the next morning, Michael combines helping individuals achieve their goals and aspirations showing them how to incorporate the same skills he used to save his life.
