Mike draws his expertise from his academic credentials as a guidance counselor and foreign language teacher, his military experience as a Marine Corps combat correspondent, and his advanced certification as a Certified World Class Speaking Coach to provide clients with the total package in public speaking.

He created Scrap Iron Storytelling as an antidote to sanitized corporate presentations and structured academic lectures.

Scrap Iron Storytelling shatters the fake hierarchy in the world of public speaking.

Scrap iron is unrefined raw material that reveals imperfections and vulnerabilities. It’s too real to polish.

Originally from Massapequa, New York, on Long Island, Mike has also lived in New England, California, Alaska, and now makes his residence in Lima, Peru.
