Founder

A graduate of Washington & Jefferson College with a BA in Psychology, Michael went on to earn his MBA from Robert Morris University. He has spent the last 22 years of his career in Hospitality Human Resources working in Business Class Hotels, Lifestyle Brands, Corporate Office Roles and in Large Iconic Resorts. At the end of 2019, Michael started his own contracting firm doing task force or project-based consulting. Michael has held adjunct professor roles teaching Human Resources Law & Ethics at Kent State University, and Hospitality Human Resources and the Hospitality Capstone Course at Youngstown State University.

In his youth, Michael had a passion for volunteer firefighting while growing up in South-Western Pennsylvania. He was the Keystone State’s youngest President of a Volunteer Fire Department being elected just days after turning age eighteen. Michael held that position for 10 years raising millions of dollars in fundraising for his local volunteer fire department. Michael recently founded a Nevada based nonprofit, Chief 107 Charities Inc., to raise funds for his annual scholarship program honoring of his late stepfather, a lifelong educator and 45-year tenure as a volunteer fire chief. Since 2020, Michael has raised over $40,000 for scholarships that were awarded to volunteer emergency first responders pursuing higher education.

Along with his passion for Hospitality Human Resources, Michael is also an entrepreneur as the founder and owner of two other business ventures. In 2016, Michael and his wife Crina launched Transylvania Twist, a made to order company that makes, chimney cakes, a dessert popular throughout eastern Europe and Asia Minor. Recently, he founded and is re-imagining Moss Distillery Company, a defunct Pennsylvanian Rye Whiskey Brand that was in operation near his hometown.
