About me

Hi, I’m Mike — a recruiter, entrepreneur, and tech builder passionate about creating meaningful solutions that make a difference.

With a strong background in cleared talent recruitment, I understand the unique challenges companies face when finding and managing security-cleared professionals. This experience inspired me to build TalentPatriot.com, a specialized ATS and CRM platform designed to simplify hiring and workforce management for government contractors.

Alongside that, I’m developing SilverFit.app, an adaptive fitness platform tailored for older adults. Leveraging voice technology and personalized coaching, SilverFit makes wellness more accessible and engaging, especially for seniors and their caregivers.

I’ve also worked as a personal trainer, coaching youth and high school athletes. This hands-on experience deepened my passion for fitness and wellness, and gave me firsthand insight into how personalized coaching and motivation can transform lives—insights that directly inform the design of SilverFit.app.

I thrive at the intersection of people and technology — combining user-centered design, data-driven strategies, and no-code/low-code tools to quickly bring ideas to life and scale impactful products.

Outside of work, I’m married and a proud father of two. I enjoy coaching youth football, which keeps me grounded and connected to my community.

Feel free to explore my projects or reach out to connect. I’m always interested in collaborating or sharing ideas about recruiting, govtech, fitness innovation, or product development.
