Michael Faulkner is a true professional and so deserving of this award.He has achieved six academic degrees and two professional certifications while working full time, raising a family and helping run the family business! He has also continued to go to school for a period of 22 consecutive years. He truly is a student of continual education!
He is also a member of MENSA!! (somehow I knew this –even though he never told me until recently!!)
Mike has authored and co-authored six books and is also a member of the Sons of the American Revolution and the Society of Founders and Patriots.
And–one of his hobbies–he was a former National Athletic Dueling champion from 1978-1979!
Mike and I met when we were both in the Direct Marketing industry where he was the second in command at the Direct Marketing Association.
He is now full professor and head of the Entreprenuerial division of DeVry University.–in my book-and in many others—he is a true superstar!!
