The Journey

Coach Mike’s Journey

I’ve been at the top of my game. Eight conference championships, Fifteen College Bowl games, five Cotton Bowl appearances, multiple players drafted to the NFL, and four time “Broyles Nominee” for Assistant Coach of the Year. I experienced considerable success as a collegiate football coach.

Behind the professional success was a personal struggle that nearly broke me mentally. I know what it feels like to lose what you built, carry the gut wrenching stress of failure, and wrestle with whether you can ever rebuild your life back again.

That’s why I created it from Broken to Built. A transformational framework for men and leaders to rebuild identity, restore self discipline, and personal excellence after life’s toughest setbacks.

I help audiences:

● Reclaim confidence and purpose after personal or professional loss.
● Transform stress and adversity into structured growth.
● Build discipline, resilience, and high-performance habits.
● Navigate life transitions without losing your identity.

My journey through elite collegiate programs and the Canadian Football League taught me the power of preparation, perseverance, and culture. My life off the field taught me the lessons of rebuilding from collapse. Today I speak, mentor, and guide others to rise stronger than before.
