“You only get to walk on this planet once, so you better get to experience as much of it as you can while you’re here.”

About Mike
Mike founded both Viagio Technologies and Beyond the Scores after working for many software companies. He started his tech journey as a software developer after earning his undergrad degree from the University of Nebraska in computer sciences. Mike took the opportunity to learn custom software development from some of the best tech designers in the Midwest. His Aha! moment came when he presented to a group of successful KC business owners as an MBA candidate. He launched his tech journey when he secured investment from Helzberg. The rest is history!
What is your favorite thing about Viagio?
Being the catalyst that caused something really big to happen. We build quality products, every single time. The longer you’re in it, you start to be really proud of the people that are a part of the business — the impact and the growth that you see in the talent on your team…success in their lives.
Who is someone you admire and why?
Liral Holt, my mentor through HEMP. Liral and I immediately connected when we first met. Every time I go talk to him, I leave that conversation full of energy and a renewed sense of self-confidence!
Being an entrepreneur or a CEO can be a lonely profession. Not a lot of people that can relate to what you’re going through. Liral’s that person for me. He truly cares about our relationship and makes you feel super important. When you think of people that you want to model your life after, Liral’s the guy!
