A deep love of natural simplicity, and finding the richest flavors and experiences in life, Michael, with his wife, son, and dog, lives on their small urban farm-ecosystem in Kansas, United States. He has almost two decades of experience in Strategic Change, working in a variety of fields. The commonality is figuring out how to make change happen when change is hard. His career started as a zoo keeper, moved to South Africa to work in-situ, and now he is honored to be the Strategy Director for Reverse the Red, helping grow and shape this global initiative to halt extinctions and recover species.
