About Michael
Outside of work, I'm a lifelong musician. Music taught me how real learning happens: steady practice, honest feedback, and building fundamentals until they become second nature. I bring that same mindset to teaching project management. You don't master this craft by memorizing a framework any more than you master an instrument by reading sheet music. You master it by doing it, with a coach who has done it too.

About Me
I'm a senior program manager with decades of experience delivering complex technology programs. Today I lead a large federal digital services program spanning multiple teams and practitioners, with a strong on-time delivery record. I manage program budgets, coach team leads weekly, and recently designed and rolled out an AI-assisted operating model that dramatically cut my program's reporting effort.
My specialty, and what sets my teaching apart, is building hybrid frameworks. I don't believe in forcing textbook Scrum, SAFe, or waterfall onto a team. I design delivery approaches tailored to a specific team's makeup, culture, and strategy, blending the best of agile and traditional practices into something that actually works in the real world. That's what I do on my programs, and it's what I'll teach you to do.
I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies along with one of the deepest certification stacks you'll find in a tutor:
Project & Program Management: PMP (Project Management Professional)
Agile & Scrum: PMI-ACP, Certified Scrum Professional–ScrumMaster (CSP-SM), Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO)
Scaled Agile: SAFe Agilist (SA), SAFe Scrum Master (SSM)
Agile Leadership & Coaching: Certified Agile Leadership (CAL-E/T/O), ICAgile Agile Coaching (ICP-ACC), Agile Team Facilitation (ICP-ATF), Systems Coaching (ICP-SYS), ICE-AC (ICAgile Expert in Agile Coaching)
Kanban: Kanban Management Professional (KMP)
Leadership & AI: Wharton leadership certificate, Quantic AI for Business
I've earned these credentials the same way I'll help you earn yours. More importantly, I've applied every one of them on real programs with real stakeholders, real budgets, and real deadlines.
Who I Teach
Working project managers and Scrum Masters who want to level up: moving from managing tasks to leading programs, mastering stakeholder management, budgets, metrics, and agile at scale
Career changers and beginners breaking into project management: I'll help you build a foundation, choose the right certification path, and translate your existing experience into PM language
Corporate teams that need practical training in agile frameworks, Scrum, Kanban, or SAFe, including help designing a hybrid framework built around your team and strategy, not just the textbook.
How I Teach
All lessons are online, live, and tailored to you. No canned slide decks. In our first session we map where you are, where you want to be, and build a plan to close the gap.
Expect:
Real-world scenarios drawn from decades of delivery, including the situations exams don't cover but your job will.
Framework design, not framework worship: learn when to use Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, or waterfall, and how to blend them into a hybrid approach that fits your team and strategy.
Plain-English explanations of frameworks, ceremonies, and terminology. I translate between executives, developers, and stakeholders for a living.
Hands-on practice: mock standups, backlog refinement, stakeholder conversations, status reporting, and interview prep.
Certification guidance for those pursuing PMP, ACP, Scrum, or SAFe credentials, from someone who has passed them all.
Whether you're preparing for your first PM role, your next certification, or leading your first program, you'll learn how this work is actually done, and how to do it well.
