Mike’s leadership experience began with being principal investigator for small R&D projects for a large DoD prime. There, he was exposed to the process of managing large investment portfolios.

As a Lead Systems Engineer, he led a large team to rapidly develop, build, deploy, and upgrade (software & hardware) systems for the United States military.

Prior to joining Albers, he took a short “sabbatical” from defense, leading the development of a portfolio of web / mobile applications, leveraging the very latest technology and development processes from Silicon Valley.
