Digital Leader & Innovator
Making the connection between business, people & technology!
Hello! I am Michael Turner and I really appreciate you coming here to learn more about me!
Along with being a Technology Leader and what some may say a "Geek" (I really do love when something seen as impossible becomes reality!), I am a proud father and husband. I am so encouraged by my family and they truly give me great joy. Without support from them and God I would be lost! Technology can be an incredible asset, but its only when you combine that with people that you relize what is possible!
