Michael’s leadership abilities were essential in the creation and growth of GraceWorks. The founding group had a number of different, if related, visions for GraceWorks. Michael kept us focused on shared goals and guided a collection of strong individuals into a team who produced a timely and effective project launch. Michael’s extensive business experience, his profound ability to bring out the best in people, and his capacity to build alliances all contributed to GraceWorks’ success. He was a pleasure to work with, and I learned a lot from his wisdom and knowledge.
