It is not ever day you meet an entrepreneur who decided to start a business while he is in the midst of fighting for his life! Yet thats exactly when Michael knew he had to start his company that would become Resiliency for Life. Through those serious health issues Michael has had to fight for his life three times.

Michael's upbeat message is about taking responsibility for where were at in our life. When we chose to live resiliently it can make a very powerful, and positive impact on our relationships, educational path, career, health and happiness.

Michael specializes in resiliency. His practice includes his work as a consultant, facilitator, workshop leader and writer with over 19 years of experience working with clients from Bermuda to Singapore, Halifax to Vancouver. His programs and those of his associates assist individuals, families, teams and organizations build resiliency skills for greater levels of durability and success.

Michael's interest in resiliency started at an early age when he noticed how some people felt defeated by the slightest set back, while with others nothing ever seemed to slow them down. Later as an adult, he faced a seven-year battle with cancer. His earlier interest and insights he had gained helped him immensely. His interest in resiliency paid many dividends during a very intense seven-year journey.

In Michael's first career he worked for ten years with an international packaged goods firm, where he moved up through five different positions in Canada. In his last position, Michael played a major role in the acquisition of the largest dollar volume account in the company's history.
