Mike Strawbridge was trained as an Chemical Engineer at Tennessee Tech University. While there he also studied biology and physiology. He spent many years in industry creating new processes and new ways of making facilities more productive. Recently he has applied his analytical skills to metaphysical subjects and is developing methods for helping people get more of what they want from life and less of what they don't want.

He enjoys outdoor challanges such as hiking, boating, off road driving and rally racing. He sees these cahllanges as metaphors of life. Happiness come not from the attainment of goals but in the struggle to achieve them. This is why he likes to crawl his Jeep over rocks and through mud rather than take the easy paved road around these challanges.
