Experience
Mike is a former mathlete and actuary turned relationship coach and connection nerd who writes for Science of People. He holds a degree in Mathematics and has an extensive background in the analytical world, but he discovered his true passion lies in exploring human connections and relationships. After graduating, he traveled extensively, staying in Buddhist monasteries and ashrams, embracing weeks of silent meditation and absorbing the communal aspects of spiritual traditions.
These experiences led Mike to a profound belief in the transformative power of human connections, which he sees as both a source of deep meaning and a practice ground for personal growth. He pursued training as a life coach and relationship coach, studied trauma-informed healing modalities, and co-created several communities dedicated to fostering stronger bonds among individuals.
Today, Mike is committed to researching and sharing knowledge on relationships and personal development, aiming to help others live more fulfilling and connected lives.
