Michael started as a Team Member with Chick-fil-A but was not quite an ideal team player. He worked hard but didn’t have a real “why” behind his work. His perspective and career trajectory changed when a coworker shared the gospel with him, whom he’s still friends with to this day.
After a few years with Chick-fil-A, Michael was selected for Corporate’s Leadership Development Program (LDP). He and his wife had their first child while in the 30-month season of traveling and learning the business through LDP. After about 6 months post-program, Michael was selected for Chick-fil-A Gainesville where he served as an operator for over 5 years. Michael now is the owner/operator at Chick-fil-A Cherokee Place in Cartersville, Georgia.
Chick-fil-A Cherokee Place’s mission is to be a bright light in Cartersville. They strive to be counter-cultural in their community and to care for the team within their four walls and every guest they come into contact with.
Michael and the Cartersville team like to give back to their community through various partners, events, and organizations.
