My dad was a Purple Heart at 19 years old. In Korea, he got shot and he survived,” Michael Kirby said, choking back tears. “The Korean War didn’t kill him, but the government did.”
For just over a year in the late 1950s, Kirby, now a 64-year-old Colorado-based stockbroker, lived on the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina with his parents, Sgt. Gerald “Red” Francis Kirby and Shirley Kirby, along with his four siblings.
I have two decades of experience as an entrepreneur, as well as working as an executive for the Fortune 500, including Cablevision and Cox Media Group. I have launched new companies and brands, corrected courses with leadership teams, and reinvented businesses. My outside perspective enables me to objectively view obstacles, discover opportunities, and clarify messaging. Often times, the primary deliverable is a website and I am so grateful to Squarespace for creating a rapid development tool that scales and provides an e-commerce option at a reasonable cost.
