Michael’s journey in the realm of health and fitness isn’t just a career; it’s a profound calling and a heartfelt passion deeply rooted in a personal connection.
In 1996, Michael’s daughter Siobhan, only one year old at the time, received a life-altering diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy and other conditions. This moment ignited a resolute sense of purpose within Michael. Inspired by his own experiences, Michael founded the FAM™ Program. He believes success in this field requires a collaborative approach, especially for those with special needs. Michael collaborates with specialists from various fields to ensure the program serves athletes comprehensively. Michael is an AdaptX-Certified Inclusive and Adaptive Fitness Coach, an ATA (Adaptive Training Academy) certified Adaptive & Inclusive Trainer, and a national martial arts champion. He also holds a CrossFit Level 2 trainer designation and a 1st Dan in traditional Jiu Jitsu.
Before founding FAM™, Michael gained experience in the corporate sector as a salesperson and sales & leadership coach. These experiences honed his adaptability and people skills. Clients describe Michael as enthusiastic, knowledgeable, impeccably professional, and exceptionally motivating. His commitment to enriching lives is unwavering and humbling.
Michael is the first recipient of the inaugural Sir Murray Halberg Legacy Award presented at the 62nd ISPS Handa Halberg Awards 2025.
