Some fun facts about Mike
Mike is a combat sports enthusiast and has competed at a semi-professional level in Muay Thai. That experience taught him to roll with the punches, be light on his feet and operate well under-pressure.
Mike has a Graphic Design degree, but his design skills are incredibly rusty—which is why he sticks to consulting. Mike is originally from Moldova and moved to the U.S. after the fall of the Soviet Union, is fluent in Russian, and has working knowledge of a few other languages.
When not at work, Mike enjoys exercising and lifting weights, listening to podcasts, hiking the many beautiful trails in Arizona, traveling to exotic destinations and dining at amazing restaurants with his wife Gaby, as well as being a dad to their daughter, Lana Rose, and we can't forget about his pup Indy (short for Indiana Bones!). He is a self-professed adrenaline junky and counts skydiving and scuba diving as some of his favorite experiences in life, thus far. Building a business is a close second.
