Michael's Story

Update 2020 - I retired at 55 from actively chasing a buck. Living life and playing the trombone quite often. The band I am with cut a CD and Video. You can find us on You Tube by searching for Frosty and the Silver Tones. We are also on Facebook and you can get our calendar there. We play all over the Valley of the Sun. Della and I are still going strong. Doing some travel and trying to help others as much as possible. For a number of years I worked as a business consultant, specifically working with complex industry in the area of Human Factors and Safety. I work with clients around the world to develop custom solutions to organizational performance shortfalls and performance improvement initiatives. Nuclear Power plant operating companies provide most of my revenues. Human and Organizational Performance Improvement, H.O.P.I. Consulting, see us on LinkedIn. After graduation from CHHS, I became an electrician (IBEW 640) and got an AAS in Electrical Engineering. Most of my work life was spent at Arizona Public Service in Nuclear Power Plant operations and Management. Along the way I became interested in management systems, organizational culture and its impact on quality and safety. To this end, I ...Expand for more
returned to school and have Master's certs from Tulane (M. BusinessManagement) and Villanova (M. Lean/Six Sigma). I retired from APS after 29 years and am concentrating on the consulting business mentioned above. I have authored several pieces on organizational culture and other elements of performance improvement, all of which are really dull unless you are a student of business. I have also publically presented and spoke about the subject around the world. I still play the trombone on a regular basis and the arts remain a big part of my life. I am a patron of the PHX Symphony, Ballet Arizona, The Heard Museum, and the Phoenix Science Center to name a few. Through my business activities I support the United Way, St. Mary's Westside Food Bank, and the PHX Rescue Mission. I would like to see all Americans well-fed, well-educated, and well-housed and believe we can vote the right people into office that could easily make this happen. (enough politics) I have five terrific children; a son, 3 daughters, and a step-daughter. They are engaged in education, medicine, and emergengy services professions. Remarried in 2015 to the only woman I believe can tolerate me. Best Regards and Blessings to all.
