Michael was raised in Ann Arbor, MI and moved to Denver in 2016 after 15 years in Chicago. Michael is the Managing Principal of Cadence Capital Partners, a boutique investment bank specializing in real estate capital markets. He is married with one daughter and another on the way, along with his trusty pal, Moo the Mini Pit.
Michael was originally drawn to the outdoor culture in Colorado as a consumer and defacto “tourist” but quickly realized it can’t be one-sided. Michael believes we also need to give back. Over the years he has been increasingly interested with trying to affect positive outcomes through large scale legislative changes.
Michael was drawn to be on POW’s Advisory Board, through the simple statement the acronym represents: Protect Our Winters. As a lover of snow sports, it resonated with him and he realized it wasn’t just about winter sports, but a call to action about the protection of our climate as a whole.
