Coach Mike

Welcome! My name is Coach Mike. I'm a Life Coach, an award winning educator, motivational speaker, CEO of SWC Academy, President of SLC Coaching, and an entrepreneur. I have learned to live my life with passion and believe everyone is capable of living out their dreams. Living with passion and purpose was something that did not always come easy for me. My personal life struggles living with 8 different foster homes since childhood were overwhelming and the odds of making something out of myself, thriving, or even coming out alive were all against me. But I would not trade this experience for anything in the world as it has given me a set of skills to produce the highest level of success. I am living proof that you past does not determine your future. I am now living my best life, and I can show you how to get there too.

At SWC Academy, we offer a 10-course technology writing program that is very similar to a university setting. Each course is unique and focuses on key skills that will help students in the classroom and beyond. We use research based strategies that are aligned with 21st Century and Common Core State standards. SWC Academy teachers use a systematic approach and will guide students as they explore their craft. Instead of spending the majority of class time on spelling tests, grammar worksheets, handwriting practice, and other isolated sub-skills of writing, students will develop their writer's craft through a highly complex workshop format.
