Testimonials
- Melissa Struthers, Chief, Industry Guidelines, Import and Manufactured Foods Division, Canadian Food Inspection Agency
"We contacted Michael to perform for a Disability Awareness Day event in December 2009.  While he was busy and unable to come in person, Michael created a video for us.  We were thrilled that Michael could be a part of our event, and the video was just wonderful.  Thoughtful, meaningful, and relevant to our key messages, but also light and funny.  We used Michael’s video at the beginning of our event to help create a relaxing atmosphere.  There is no question that Michael’s video was a hit.  Everyone loved it, and it helped provide us with a great kick-off to our event."

- Lainie Smajovits, Bialik High School sensitization program organizer
"Michael has been coming to Bialik High School since 2007 as part of a sensitization program I organize.  His visits have been fantastic! The purpose of the program is to teach the children that people with disabilities are people first, with many strengths and abilities. Not only does he get this point across beautifully, but he does it with humor and warmth. I could not imagine having the program without including Michael!"

- Sarena Miller, President of Women's Entrepreneurial Exchange
“Michael came to speak for our large group at the Women’s Entrepreneurial Exchange, and as always his message was inspiring, insightful, and uplifting.  Michael leaves you with a “can do” attitude, a new perspective…the feeling that any challenge that somebody faces, whether in business or their personal life, can be overcome - and that it can be done so with lightness and laughter.  As you listen to his real-life stories and examples, coupled with his comedic humor interjected throughout his talk, the time seems to fly-by, while underneath it all runs the clear message of hope and perseverance.  We would be glad to invite Michael  to return to our group."

- Sheila (Twinkle) Rudberg, founder of Leave Out Violence
"I know Michael through his volunteer participation with Leave Out Violence (LOVE).  LOVE is a youth-focused organization dedicated to reducing violence in our communities and in the lives of young people caught in the vicious cycle of violence both as perpetators, victims and witnesses.  Michael is and has been for several years a most dedicated, forthright and proactive participant with the LOVE program.  He is a valued member of our Board of Directors in Montreal and has given us a lot of his valuable time professionally in overseeing our fiances.  Michael is a giving member of our community at large and he helps to raise funds for organizations that need it the most.  He is a compassionate, courageous and warm human being and I feel privileged to have the opportunity to know him and to work with him."
