Since his departure in 1994, Mike has focused his practice on regional and national clientele in the financial services, energy, health care and food sectors. He has also provided campaign creative and communication services to a number of political candidates and is recognized as one of New England's most skilled crisis communications managers.

He is an award winning advertising copywriter as well as recognized public relations professional. He has earned awards from the American Advertising Federation, the American Association of Political Consultants and the Publicity Club of New England, among others.

More recently, Mike has focused part of his energy on business consulting, serving as a strategic planning facilitator for regional and national companies, as well as a business planner and investor solicitation advisor to small and start-up companies.

Mike describes his varied skill this way: "At heart of what I do is an ability to think simultaneously on an analytic and a creative level. Shaping any marketing plan, public relations initiative or strategic plan are ideas and aspirations. Driving ideas and aspirations forward, however, requires sound analysis and planning. I'm happy to bring both to the table for clients who choose to work with me."

Mike is a graduate of Providence College and recieved an MBA from the University of Rhode Island. He and his wife Mary, parents of four sons, reside in Barrington, Rhode Island.
