Hey! I'm Michael. My friends call me Miz.

I'm a Community Manager for Uber in New York.

Uber is Everyone's Private Driver – and we're doing incredible work by rolling out an efficient, innovative, and elegant transportation system in cities across the world.

I also spent some time at GroupMe, where I was a Support/Community Management Intern during the summer of 2011 and got memed often. After graduating, I returned to GroupMe/Skype for a little while and worked on Experiences. I learned a lot from Team GroupMe and loved every minute of it.

I graduated from the University of Connecticut.

I made the most of my time at UConn – including leading the fraternity community as the 2011 President of the Interfraternity Council, creating a new brand identity, website, and workflows for HuskyTHON (the largest student-run philanthropy in Connecticut), and being a cohort member of Leadership Legacy Experience, the University’s premiere leadership recognition and development program.

I was President of the UConn Polo Team, employed as a Campus Tour Leader, and won a Startup Weekend building Sobrio, an app to connect campus sober drivers with those needing rides.

I'm interested in a bunch of different things.

I'm an amateur graphic designer. I'm interested in how an organization's mission influences their design and branding.

When I have spare time, I play polo, ski, and figure out ways to be more efficient, effective, and consistent.

I'm an INTJ on the MBTI. My Gallup StrengthsFinder themes are Significance, Input, Responsibility, Achiever, and Maximizer.
