Michael grew up as caregiver to his mother who suffered a stroke at the young age of 28. He saw first hand the impacts of life after stroke for both survivors and loved ones. This led him down a mission to impact the lives of stroke survivors. He is the co-host of the Know Stroke Podcast which features interviews with neuro-rehabilitation researchers, clinical stroke experts and founders of emerging technology companies that have a potential to impact the stroke care pathway. While living abroad in Dublin, Ireland, he completed a M.C.S at Griffith College and wrote his dissertation titled "Evaluating the future impact of digital Health technology on the stroke care pathway in Ireland”. He is now living back in the US, based out of NYC and a Product Manager at CVS Health.
