Michael is a facilitator, strategist, and innovator committed to investing in the adults who make a difference in the lives of young people. For the last 12 years, as cofounder and president of ProjectYM, he has worked to address the number one reason youth ministers leave ministry: feeling alone, isolated, and unsupported. That’s why community is at the heart of everything he does – whether training leaders across the country, fostering intentional mentorship through small groups, or creating spaces marked by radical hospitality that renew and sustain those who serve.
