Mike is a lover of wisdom and learning. He learned about Montessori from his philosophical mentor who provided him a copy of the incredible book Maria Montessori: Her Life and Work by E. M. Standing. This detailed and eye-opening book took about a year to work through. Completely inspired he then spent six months seeking to meet with Montessori schools to learn more about what he believed to be a solution to so many societal issues. He traveled to Paris and met with a Montessori school director who recommended that he join a Montessori organization as a way to meet with educators and others in the community. This outreach has fostered an interest in philanthropy related to improving child-family-community relationships and early childhood education.
