Michael Oakes
Michael began his career as a college basketball coach and a health and physical education instructor, after receiving his Master’s degree in Education from Montclair State University. He went on to work in management for major enterprises such as FedEx and the Hearst Corporation.
He then moved on to become an entrepreneur and an innovator in the transportation and logistics industry, ultimately developing the national same-day delivery franchise network, 1-800-COURIER. This equipped him with invaluable practical insights essential to the success of small and medium sized businesses.
Michael now combines his lifelong passions for education, coaching and small business to take people beyond what they believe to be their limitations and help them reach new heights of performance and success.
“I just love the excitement, enthusiasm and energy of start-up entrepreneurs. They inspire me to do my very best work!”
