ABOUT MICHAEL
Anything
But Traditional.
My experiences, while trying, served as a crucible for resilience, adaptability, and problem-solving – skills that became the bedrock of my character and the cornerstone of my professional success.
My journey, both personal and professional, has been anything but traditional. From an early age, I was faced with significant challenges, including overcoming my own drug addiction and navigating the tumultuous landscape of parental drug and mental abuse.
Finding
My Way
At the age of 19, armed with nothing more than the will to change, the support of my soon-to-be wife, and a dream to create something meaningful, I returned home to Monterey, California. With just two suitcases, $500 to my name, and a heart full of determination, I founded Coastal Paving & Excavating Inc.
Over the years, I have transformed this start-up into a leading firm in the paving and excavating industry, generating eight-figure revenues annually and amassing a stable real estate portfolio. This growth and success stand as a testament to the indomitable spirit that drove me to rise above my circumstances and the steadfast resolve that continues to fuel our company’s growth.
On this journey, I have built multiple successful businesses and a beautiful family but also nurtured a deep sense of community responsibility. My life experiences have instilled in me the importance of giving back, and I keep striving to fulfill this responsibility through my company’s ongoing support of local charities and initiatives, particularly those aiding mental health and youth development.
This growth and success stand as a testament to the indomitable spirit that drove me to rise above my circumstances.
TRANSFORMED
A NEW PURPOSE
“I’m a product of my environment, but that doesn’t mean I’m a victim of it.”
Today, my past serves not as a shadow, but as a beacon – a guiding light that illuminates our path toward future success, inspires our commitment to the community, and informs the resilient, adaptable leadership that defines Coastal Paving & Excavating Inc.
Mentoring New Leaders
I started building an online presence because I knew other young kids were going through the same struggles I once faced. I’m here to share my story without any filters. My true authentic self. I hope this brings light to those who are facing dark moments. Some of us just need that little extra push and with a little bit of guidance a whole new reality is possible. I am a testament to that, and I am here to pay it forward.
