For over 20 years Michael has helped companies from start-ups to global corporations connect with users through engaging stories and innovation.
With his career on an upswing and life looking good – everything suddenly changed. Both of Michael’s parents passed away when he was just 26 years old. While losing a parent at any age is enormous and profound, having lost both of your parents before becoming a parent yourself, leaves you in an odd and difficult space. When you have children of your own, and your parents are not there to help you – that difficult space becomes even harder.
Losing both of your parents means you no longer have a tether to the comfort, security, and support you have known all your life.
Michael founded Parents Without Parents to help parentless parents navigate through this difficult space.

Dr. Welt's recognition of the need for a program for parents without parents, and her commitment to helping others made this program possible.
