Michael is the triumphant product of a hard-working single-mom who taught him that life is precious and family - priceless. A former military paratrooper, he left the armed forces and spent 25 years in IT. In the last five years, he shifted his focus to mentoring and life 

coaching. Michael’s been on numerous mission trips, but it was multiple visits to Africa that created a passion for changing the lives of the less fortunate, which laid the groundwork for co-founding the Giving Well.

Bree is an associate marriage/family therapist and clinical counselor. Before that, she spent several years as a registered dental assistant and horse trainer. Her heart for people was fostered during her teenage years doing missionary work in Mexico with her family.

Mark defected to the East Coast from his native Central Valley, California origins several years ago. After bravely surviving his initial New England winters, he decided to stay and put his Civil Engineering degree to work designing roads infrastructure. After college he worked with an international non-profit in the Middle East. It was this work that sparked a passion that has served as a foundation for The Giving Well.
