About

Learn about me, my background, the difference in my perspective and why, in a world full of people who want you to listen to them, you should listen to what I have to say.

I just want to make sure you know how appreciative I am of having had your assistance in this process. Many times I have said, “This is why I’m glad we have Mike”. Whether it was answering the multiple questions I had or simple reassurances that we were doing things right, it made all the difference in my sanity. We are very happy with the results.

I’ve spent over 30 years guiding families through the academic and athletic process. I’ve worked on the sports side and the education side. My daily conversations include former or current athletes, parents, club coaches, HS coaches, prep school coaches, high school teachers, prep school teachers, prep school administrators, college administrators, college coaches, and professional athletes. There is no part of the process my workshops can’t help you with. I’ve lived what you are going through.

Most parents and athletes are very happy if they can find just one person or coach who has been through it before them, who has achieved the goals they hope to achieve. I haven’t just achieved those goals, I’ve studied the process, forward and back, for decades. There’s a big difference.

As the only service of its kind, administrators and coaches from all levels of sport and school regularly contact us for input and advice. College coaches sometimes ask us for our opinion on certain athletes, or to let us know when they have a recruiting need they are trying to fill. High school and prep school coaches and administrators contact us for information, or to ask us to speak with current or prospective athletes. We’ve earned their respect and that has resulted in relationships that benefit you.

I know what matters at the end of the day. I can improve your results.
