In my own words
— Michael7+ years in sales/marketing/events.
Looking to continue my career with an organization that has a focus on the outdoors and making a positive social impact on the world.
I'm a strong communicator with a passion to connect with others. I also have extensive social media marketing and copywriting skills.
Additionally, I'm now learning photography, doing some volunteer work, and I'm taking a trip to Peru in June. Let's connect!
