About me
Mike was hired as St. George Municipal School Unit’s first superintendent in 2015. In that role, he focused on developing partnerships with businesses, nonprofits, and civic organizations to better meet the needs of students and families.
While superintendent, Mike helped lead a community effort, in partnership with MidCoast School of Technology, to develop the nation’s first PreK-12 Career & Technical Education program. In August 2025, after a three-year campaign that raised over $4.6 million, St. George opened the GRACE Innovation Center. The project was selected as a finalist for the national Yass Prize and was featured in both national (e.g., Wall Street Journal and Fox Business News) and state and local media (e.g., News Center Maine, WABI TV, etc.).
In July 2025, Mike transitioned to the roles of Executive Director of the GRACE Innovation Center and Executive Director of the St. George Community Development Corporation (StGCDC). The StGCDC also oversees the adult education, workforce training, and telehealth/paramedicine programming happening through the GRACE Innovation Center.
With the StGCDC, Mike has the opportunity to work at the nexus of community, education, and economic development alongside individuals, groups, and institutions that are developing locally tailored solutions to the most pressing issues facing our town, state, and nation – issues ranging from food security to workforce readiness and housing to healthcare.
