About

Welcome! Growing up in a family business, I've had the opportunity to watch and learn daily operations at a very early age. When the time came, I hit the ground running wearing the many hats required to successfully operate the business. From the receipt of raw materials, emptying containers, warehouse planning, production optimization, industrial machinery maintenance, employee training, identifying KPI's, designing catalogue, product packaging design, sales, account management and more. Everyone had a role but moreover, everyone had a goal and for as long as that goal was aligned with one another, we were paving the perfect highway. Being four siblings in the family, I learned a lot from them as they all chose to pursue different disciplines from accounting, media and communications and biochemistry. This experience gave me the passion to create my own environment of like minded people. I've studied a great deal in entrepreneurship, lean methodologies, customer centered approaches and development, growth hacking, digital currencies, start up funding, marketing tools, cpc, cpa, ppm, ppv, cpi, e-mail marketing, a/b testing, and all that fun stuff. When trying to make it out on your own and failing, you learn a great deal more every single time. Always learning, studying, applying, curious and interested. Always working on projects, inventing, envisioning and dreaming. Stay tuned as great things are coming and always will be. Stay positive! Mike
