I know Michael Riggs to be a true professional, and an expert his field. With that being said, Michael (Mike) is 'the guy" that you want on your team. No matter what the task, event, challenge, or job may present, Michael exudes leadership, and is quickly identified in any instance, as the person that others are looking up to in order to lead in achieve success. With the talent to lead others, Michael also possesses the wisdom to listen, and to quickly adapt to assist others in reaching their full potential in any situation. Each one of Mike's students, associates, peers, friends, and even first time acquaintances, will speak to the fact that Mike is a solid individual. Husband, father, teacher, mentor, brother, friend, intelligent, disciplined, fun, wise, leader, honorable, dignified, noble, trustworthy, professional, above reproach...these are all words that would accurately describe Michael Riggs. Mike is well suited, and immeasurably qualified to facilitate success. Even if Mike is not a part of your permanent team, his consult is invaluable.
Randy Bush, Managing Partner Creation Gardens
Mike is one of the most dedicated and competent professionals I know. His attention to detail, as well as his organizational and planning skills, are immediately evident to anyone who knows him. He is a self-motivated and resourceful team player who relates effortlessly to a wide diversity of students. Moreover, he has the somewhat unique ability to grasp complex theoretical concepts and understands how to relate them to concrete on the job situations. His communication skills (both written and verbal) are ideally suited for the kind of work he does...on top of everything else, Mike is an exceptional leader whose professional potential is essentially unlimited.
