Testimonials

-Jesse Kanaple; Director at a YMCA

“Michael is one of my biggest professional role models even years after having worked with him. Michael’s impact on my career is immeasurable. His positive influence can be seen in the way I hire staff, use social media to market, and even the decisions I make at camp daily. If I hadn’t had the opportunity to work with Michael I’m not sure I would be the Youth Development Professional I am today.”

-Bry Novak-Rich; Assistant Camp Director YMCA/ School Teacher

"Michael is an outstanding leader who provided crucial guidance during my formative years in camp leadership positions. He fostered a growth-minded work environment where I developed programming, family communication, and leadership skills. His expertise is second to none and I am very grateful for the time I had working with him."

-Mariah; Camp Unit Leader

My favorite boss I’ve ever had and one of my greatest inspirations in life has started his newest endeavor. If you love camp then go like his page and get him to help make your camp more awesome because Michael knows how to make “The best day of our lives”.

-Mike Heppner; Senior Director at a YMCA

“Every time I’m faced with a decision, Michael’s voice always seems to play in my head! I learned a lot from him, including what type of leader I wanted to grow to be.”
