is a dedicated disciple of Set Free Ministry in Anaheim California. Michael was born and raised
in Brooklyn, N.Y.C., and now resides in California. Addiction was a common theme throughout
Michael's life. His parents were both addicted. He lost two grandmothers to alcoholism, a
grandfather to heroin, and his uncle to heroin. After 12 years of using high doses of Methadone,
Michael detoxed off Methadone in 2021. While in treatment, Michael started his nonprofit
Inspire 2 Inspire, working to support the recovery community. He is now a resource for people
seeking recovery across the country. Mike graduated from treatment in May 2022. Twenty years
of living in active addiction have given Mike a unique perspective. He has a "life education" that
cannot be taught through formal education. Michael understands the value of a person's story and
believes that "Our stories lie in what we overcome, not what we have done." Michael has a
passion for public speaking. His inspirational talks have become well-known in the recovery and
Fentanyl prevention communities. His high energy and positive attitude have been an asset to
growing his advocacy portfolio. As Community Outreach Coordinator for Voices For Awareness
Foundation and Project Facing Fentanyl, he successfully brings families affected by Fentanyl
poisoning together with people in recovery, building an army for his " 1 Voice Project". To learn
