Under Mike's leadership, eThority has developed a strong set of core competencies around consolidating disparate data sources into usable, accessible information. Mike has focused a great deal of passion toward the development of a 'user-obvious' interface. When not executing day-to-day business operations, Mike dedicates himself to the design of eThority's user-obvious interface and data visualization layer.
