Mike has worked as a computer programmer, an engineer, a manufacturing production supervisor and a college professor teaching computer science and mathematics. In all of these predominantly male environments, he worked closely with female colleagues to find solutions that not only worked for women but helped everyone be more engaged and productive.
• As a supervisor in a fortune 500 manufacturing company, Mike increased the percentage of women on the production line from 8% to 35% in 2 years.
• He has facilitated community discussion groups focusing on reducing violence against women.
• He received the Sara Terrano Memorial Award for excellence in the prevention of Domestic Violence - a lifelong commitment.
• Mike was invited as a guest panelist at the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the Inter-American Development Bank where he spoke about how men play a vital role in changing the social norms that allow violence against women.
When he's not collaborating with others on gender related issues, Mike enjoys running, volleyball, singing and trying to extend the life of his cars beyond reason. He loves traveling with his wife, Jan... especially when they meet up with their two sons in what they consider "God forsaken" parts of the world (translation: no internet or cell phone service).
In addition to his work on gender equality, he is also passionate about working towards racial healing. He is a facilitator of "The Institute for Healing Racism."voir moins
