Founder Story

Founded by lifelong friends Mike and Mark, we bring over 75 years of combined leadership across the public and private sectors. While our backgrounds as an educator and an engineer are diverse, we are united by a shared commitment to organizational growth and excellence.

Our vision wasn't built in a boardroom, but over hundreds of cups of coffee and countless hours swapping stories. It was during these caffeine-fueled sessions, trading ideas on how to better serve our communities, that our dream of a collaborative consultancy took shape.

Our work is driven by three core principles:

  • Providing Value: Being a trusted resource for our partners

  • Service Focus: Helping individuals and organizations grow

  • Outcomes Driven: Building successful collaborative partnerships
