Personal Information
Mike has an M.B.A. from the Harvard Business School and a B.Eng., joint honours in Production Engineering and Management, from the University of Bath, England.
Originally from the UK, Mike ran his businesses for 16 years based out of Chicago before being awarded a subclass 124, distinguished talent visa for sport by the Australian Government
in 2007 when he relocated with his family to Sydney.
When not consulting, coaching, teaching, or singing enthusiastically in the shower, Mike can normally be found competing in a croquet tournament somewhere around the globe or uncovering the joys of
parenthood with his 8-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son. At the former he has represented both the US and Australia in international competition, at the latter he frequently feels in need of remedial training.
