Michael is CEO of One Well World, a group of companies, including a non-profit, 501(c)3 charitable foundation. Among them is NaturalBeautyGroup.com, an eCommerce spa product boutique, OM4 Organic Male, and haia. He holds an MSOD in organization and design and development from Loyola University’s School of Business in Chicago, specializing in work systems engineering. With more than 22 years of experience in healthcare administration, Michael maintains an interest in integrative health and wellness and has led several building projects and service implementations bridging traditional and nontraditional therapies in the hospital setting. After his career in healthcare, Michael purchased and operated a 16-room destination inn and spa in La Conner, WA, where he became interested in spa product development to fill a glaring gap in the market—men’s skincare. Now 12 years later, Mike saw another glaring unfulfilled niche – inclusive beauty and founded the gender-agnostic brand, haia (Happy as I Am) in 2021. His broad expertise in marketing, brand development, best-practice operational systems design and management has served him well in his entrepreneurial life. In his spare time, mike loves being out in the natural world and considers it essential to maintaining a healthy, unbiased perspective.
