He believes God gives the church the ministry of reconciliation, which requires us to meet Christ in those among us who are most marginalized, oppressed and targeted and allow their voices and concerns the center place in community life. That God calls Christian communities to support one another in growing in life-changing relationships with Christ and dreams church buildings to be sacred public space where diverse communities gather to dismantle structures of us vs. them and to build the Beloved Community of equity and justice for all God’s children and to be a catalyst for the common good.

As the Dean of Christ Church Cathedral in St. Louis (2009-2016) Mike had a particular interest in the Cathedral’s role in dismantling systemic misogyny and homophobia and promoting racial and economic reconciliation in St. Louis and with Christ Church Cathedral was active in the new civil rights movement that was ignited in 2014 in Ferguson, Missouri.

He has a Bachelor of Journalism degree from the University of Missouri-Columbia and a Master’s of Divinity from Berkeley Divinity School at Yale. Prior to his ministry at Christ Church Cathedral, he was the founding Executive Director of Episcopalians for Global Reconciliation (EGR) a nonprofit that gathered individuals, congregations and dioceses across the church to work across divisions to help eradicate global poverty, and was the founding campus missioner of Rockwell House, the Episcopal Campus Ministry at Washington University in St. Louis. Mike is also president of the board of Magdalene St. Louis, a two-year residential community for women recovering from lives of prostitution, violence and drug abuse that opened its first house in June, 2015.

Mike had a previous brief career as a sportswriter and loves major league baseball and college basketball, especially the Los Angeles Dodgers and the University of Arizona Wildcats (from his hometown of Tucson, Arizona). He loves listening to U2 and the blues, is a voracious reader and loves everything Aaron Sorkin has ever written for the large and small screen.

In those early years I learned a lot about what it took to be a great leader, the importance of applying processes and systems, and found a deep passion and curiosity around how to really get a team to work together.

During that time I also spent 16 years developing my entrepreneurial mindset, rising to be a leader of the top yacht design company in the world, growing that business from 10 to 22 staff.  But then I found myself at the top and no way to learn more.

I made the difficult decision to leave that company and for the second stage in my career went into government contracting for 10 years, managing across larger teams with multi-million dollar budgets and helping the US navy launch ships into the fleet.

For the third stage of my career I decided I was ready to start my own entrepreneurial journey. I founded my business 5 years ago with the mission to help people, teams and businesses get unstuck and sail forward. It was during this time that I was introduced to Traction and EOS, and I immediately fell in love. I wish I had had these tools when I was faced with obstacles and trying to grow the yacht design business.

So today I am a professional EOS Implementer and I bring my expertise and my passion to help smart business owners get unstuck, fuel growth and build a profitable and enjoyable place to work with their crew.
