Michael is the co-founder and co-CEO of Syneurgy, an AI company focused on improving team performance through the science of interpersonal synchrony. Syneurgy builds tools that help teams understand how they actually coordinate — cognitively, emotionally, and behaviorally — and use those insights to strengthen collaboration, trust, and execution. The focus is on helping teams think, coordinate, and collaborate more intelligently.

Alongside this work, Michael is Chief Science Officer at the Flow Research Collective, founded by NYT best-selling author Steven Kotler (himself a godfather of flow neuroscience) where he translates research from performance neuroscience into practical methodologies for peak performance. The emphasis is on rigor: taking what science genuinely supports and turning it into tools people can apply in leadership, creativity, and high-stakes environments.

Previously, Michael held leadership roles across academia and industry, including Director of the AI Center at Miami Dade College and Director of Programs at the University of Miami's Institute for Data Science and Computing. Earlier in his career, he worked at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, and his undergraduate training was in astrophysics — an experience that strongly shaped his systems-oriented way of thinking.

Across these roles, Michael's focus has been on bridging technical depth and strategic perspective: connecting data, technology, and human behavior into insights that organizations can actually use.

Michael regularly speak with executive teams, educators, and organizations on topics such as:
- How AI is reshaping human cognition and decision-making
- Responsible AI, ethics, and morality
- Performance neuroscience and peak cognition
- Team dynamics, synchrony, and collaboration
- Human flourishing in the age of intelligent machines
