Michael is one of those critical employees that maintains buoyancy for the company. He was on a list of people on whom I could rely for specific, accurate, and swift information.

I enjoyed working with Michael. One thing you know about working with him, he takes pride in what he does. He has a strong work ethic, and he will do what he can to meet any request, even if it falls outside of his job responsibilities. Michael is the type of guy you want when you need to get something done, because he's not afraid to step out of his comfort zone and get his hands dirty. Equally important, Michael can work with anyone. In any company, there are easy people and there are difficult people. Michael has that personality that allows him to work with even the most difficult personalities and still get the job done. You can't find that in everyone. He will be a great asset wherever he goes.

I worked with Michael when he was in merchandising at Wal-Mart. He was extremely helpful and patient with my brand-new company to teach us how to understand the Wal-Mart world. In particular, he was a tremendous help to me personally to understand retail link, which he is an expert in. Michael was able to do all of that and keep a great sense of humor...now that's talent!
