"He has celebrated big mile stones with me and has shown compassion and care during my low times. He took the time to congratulate me when I did well and ask me how I was doing when falling behind.

Michael Pierce
"Michael Pierce has been the kind of boss who makes you want to level up not because he tells you to, but because he shows you how it’s done. He leads with confidence, and somehow keeps things human, even when the pressure’s on. Watching him work made me want to bring my A game every day."
