I’m Michael, a fun-loving family man!

I’m a neurodivergent girl dad of 3 who enjoys nothing more than spending quality time with people I care about. My main outlooks on life are “Knowledge is power”—the more you know, the more you can achieve—and “It’s nice to be nice”, meaning that for me, the act of being nice is far more rewarding whether it is received or rejected by others. This was not always the case! In my youth I found mainstream school extremely difficult, this had a negative impact on my personal life as well as my education.

Once I got to grips with who I wanted to be and realised I want to help mentor and teach people, children in particular. I spent over nine years coaching children and adults in a range of sports, including archery, football, swimming, rock climbing, and many others. I then spent a short time in residential care setting before moving to Pushforward.
