Disciplined, Supportive, Purpose-Driven
Hi! I’m Michael! I’m an Academic Coach with Staying Ahead of the Game LLC. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and bring a diverse professional background into education. Prior to teaching, I worked as a Program Manager in the defense industry. For the past five years, I’ve served as a high school math teacher, and I currently work as an Assistant Principal overseeing middle and high school Math and Science.
I chose to coach with SAOTG because executive functioning skills are essential for success both inside and outside the classroom. I strongly believe in SAOTG’s mission to equip students with discipline, structure, and strategies that empower them for life. What I love most about coaching is working directly with students and helping them reach goals they once thought were out of reach.
