Michael is the co-founder and CEO of Pastor’s Coach and of Destiny Finder.

Early in his pastoral ministry Michael developed a passion to see believers equipped and released into the specific ministry for which God has designed them. This passion led him to develop materials and a process for leadership development that he used to help hundreds of people to move forward into their destiny and calling. That material, refined by over thirty years of ministry, eventually became the Destiny Finder system. Destiny Finder launched the first destinyfinder.com website in 2010, and over a hundred thousand people around the world have used its tools to discover and develop their calling in the Lord.

Michael was awarded a D. Div. from Grace Bible College in Gurgaon, India. He served as Director of the Culture Project for Jesus Culture from 2009-2013. He taught and led the Church Leadership and Church Planting tracks at the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry (BSSM) for over five years in Redding, California. He also worked with Global Legacy, Bethel Church’s association of churches, overseeing churches and creating discipleship programs for the next generation.

Michael increasingly began working with leaders around the globe and saw more and more need for solid practical biblical and Spirit-led training for churches and especially for pastors and leaders.Language

Michael is one of the foremost strategic thinkers (and doers) of church ministry in the body of Christ today, helping pastors, leaders, churches and movements to move forward into all that God has for them. Michael lives with his wife Diane in Shingle Springs, California. He plays guitar, loves the Beatles, and enjoys jigsaw puzzles in the few spare moments he has to relax.
