Meet the Director/Instructor

Born and raised in Northwest Montana, a 4th generation Montanan, Michael has a deep appreciation for the local surroundings, natural landscapes and the quality of life that has been represented in NW Montana over the generations. Creativity and hard work to provide for his family has been part of Michael’s experience in the path toward becoming a massage therapist and eventually massage therapy training.

When Michael is not working hard, he is busy enjoying his family in this little corner of Northwest Montana and all it has to offer. Hunting, hiking, cross country along with some downhill skiing, gardening, and playing on the water are among his family’s favorite activities.

Michael takes his role as a mentor and an educator seriously in that he delights in helping students fulfill their dream of becoming a licensed massage therapist with exceptional skill. After 35 years in the massage industry, Michael brings well-grounded experience to his training program.
