Michael has learned to use logic over fear. A trader in NYSE & NASDAQ stocks since 2000, he found out that earning his Series 7 and 63 licenses did not give him the necessary confidence to overcome his fear of losing money.....or the respect of his spouse. Being trained by a market maker on the NASDAQ exchange did not avail such concerns either.

Through many years of refinement, Michael has developed his
proprietary F. E. A. R. coaching model. "False Evidence that Appears Real" will show you how to embrace the dread that you feel as you semi-anticipate sitting down in front of your laptop or tablet. Anxiety can grip you like a crucible after you have entered a trade. No worries-Michael has been there and left that place. He will help you to do the same!

Originally from Indiana, Michael lived in Colorado and grew to love the Rocky Mountains, often hiking or skiing. He also lived in Hawaii, learning to change sports...from basketball (Go Hoosiers!) to soccer, which was far more common there. Let's not forget about surfing at Hapuna Beach in Waimea!

Next was New York, where Michael was a full time volunteer in construction for 4 years. Since then, he has been happily married for 30 years! He still loves basketball, tennis, racquetball and baseball. In his free time, he enjoys listening to well recorded music in a two channel system. According to Michael, he will always be an audiophile at heart!
