His career has provided him with a deep and strategic understanding of manufacturing, engineering, and technology companies, including expertise in data analytics, intelligence, quality management, compliance oversight, contract management, global supply chain planning, and environmental, social, and governance practices.
Before founding IntelAlytic, Mike served nearly 17 years at HighCom Armor Solutions, Inc., where he held numerous leadership positions across various operations. These positions included supply chain management, quality management, trade compliance, sales and business development, marketing, finance, production, human resources, research & development, and engineering.
During his tenure at HighCom Armor Solutions, Mike began as Director of Operations in 2006 and rose through the organization with multiple promotions. He was appointed Vice President of Operations in 2008, President and Chief Operating Officer in 2011, and ultimately became the Chief Executive Officer and Director of a $5+ million business in January 2018. During his time as CEO, Mike led the company through diverse and challenging times and grew it to $55+ million before his departure in late 2022.
As HighCom's business continued to grow, Mike led the company through significant milestones over the past two decades. He oversaw the company's growth from three employees to nearly 200, expanded the manufacturing site from 5,000 sqft to over 50,000 sqft, and successfully entered foreign markets, including the expansion of a research and development and production facility in Australia. Mike's leadership played a critical role in HighCom's expansion and success, which has positioned the company as a global leader in body armor and personal protective equipment.
Following his departure as Chief Executive Officer and Director of HighCom in September 2022, Mike brings a unique and powerful expertise to the table, with a proven track record of success across a multitude of disciplines.

As a trusted advisor across multiple areas of focus, IntelAlytic helps SMBs deploy cash towards essential business operations such as product development, facility expansion, marketing, and sales efforts, rather than complex and overwhelming administrative tasks.

Mike's commitment to saving lives was instilled at a young age, as he comes from a family with a long history of military and law enforcement service, where putting their lives on the line to protect and serve their country was a way of life. His grandfather, served in the Army during World War II, went on to become the Chief of Police in his hometown. Mike's father, who served in the Navy during the Vietnam War, and his brothers, who both served in the Army Special Forces, dedicated their lives to serving in government and law enforcement roles across their respective careers.
For Mike, this common thread of protecting and serving has been a driving force throughout his life, motivating him to use his skills and expertise to advance high-quality ballistic protection equipment for men and women all over the world who also serve and protect. While Mike took a different path, he spent almost 20 years advancing high-quality ballistic protection equipment for men and women worldwide. Using his leadership, operations, and business development skills, Mike contributed to the protection of those who serve and protect us.
During his tenure at HighCom Armor, a worldwide supplier of body armor and personal protective equipment, Mike's unwavering commitment to saving lives resulted in many lasting impacts on both the company and the industry.
